The current implementation of alloc_refcount_block and grow_refcount_table has
fundamental problems regarding error handling. There are some places where an
I/O error means that the image is going to be corrupted. I have found that the
only way to fix this is to completely rewrite the thing.

Just sending as an RFC to the list hasn't generated a lot of comments (to be
precise, not a single one). This is a critical part of qcow2 and needs reviews.
So let's try it another way: People in CC, please give it a review. Sooner or
later some of you will need to do so anyway.

Should I apply this series?  I still don't see any review comments.
I sent review comments on the 18th.  I expect Kevin to address them.  I
talked with him on irc while doing the review (i.e. he knows about
them).

You're right, I missed it.  Thanks.

Kevin???

Later, Juan.
