0d31c7c200b3dca2aeeaa6f74ff3fd539aad803a block/parallels: delay writing to BAT till bdrv_co_flush_to_os
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 uses loaded BAT data as a cache and performs
actual on-disk metadata updates in parallels_co_flush_to_os callback.
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.
