ee22a9d86921310672aa8775489217f3e2f5e1c6 qcow2: Merge the writing of the COW regions with the guest data
If the guest tries to write data that results on the allocation of a
new cluster, instead of writing the guest data first and then the data
from the COW regions, write everything together using one single I/O
operation.
This can improve the write performance by 25% or more, depending on
several factors such as the media type, the cluster size and the I/O
request size.
