The idea is that we do not need to immediately sync BAT to the image as
from the guest point of view there is a possibility that IO is lost
even in the physical controller until flush command was finished.
bdrv_co_flush_to_os is exactly the right place for this purpose.
Technically the patch aligns writes into BAT to MAX(bdrv_align, 4096),
which elliminates read-modify-write transactions on BAT update and
cache ready-to-write content in a special buffer in BDRVParallelsState.
This buffer possibly contains ParallelsHeader if the first page of the
image should be modified. The header occupies first 64 bytes of the image
and the BAT starts immediately after it.
It is also possible that BAT end is not aligned to the cluster size.
ParallelsHeader->data_off is not specified for this case. We should write
only part of the cache in that case.
This patch speed ups
qemu-img create -f parallels -o cluster_size=64k ./1.hds 64G
qemu-io -f parallels -c "write -P 0x11 0 1024k" 1.hds
writing from 50-60 Mb/sec to 80-90 Mb/sec on rotational media and
from 160 Mb/sec to 190 Mb/sec on SSD disk.
