[PATCH 00/17] qemu: Add support for blocking writes for the blockdev-mirror job

Blocking writes ensure that the mirroring converges even when the guest is I/O intensive with a fast local storage and slow mirror. This patchset does it by introducing flags which use the blocking mode as it will have performance impact, and for guests which do I/O in bursts it might be detrimental to their performance. One could argue that both the copy job and migration have the expectations of actually using the copy so ensuring that it converges might be also something we'd want to do by default. This would obviously greatly simplify this series, but I didn't want to change the default.
