Pretty long condition. :-)
Looks like most is obviously needed, but I wonder what the bs->file part
is good for? That looks rather arbitrary.

Is it? I only see it being cleared in bdrv_co_write_zeroes(), but that's
not a function that seems to be called from here.

This hunk could have been a patch of its own (not a reason for a respin,
but if you need to respin to address one of the other comments, please
split the patch).

Perhaps we should always display the information if zero detection is
enabled. This would be similar to things like I/O throttling limits,
which are only printed if throttling is enabled.

I think it gets a bit more readable like this:
size_t offs = QEMU_ALIGN_DOWN(qiov->iov[i].iov_len, 4 * sizeof(long));

This function could be a separate patch as well.
