Glusterfs has been marked as deprecated since QEMU v9.2, and as far as I know, nobody spoke up 'til today that it should be kept. The listed e-mail address integration@gluster.org in our MAINTAINERS file seems to be bouncing nowadays, and looking at their website https://www.gluster.org/ the most recent news are from 2020 / 2021 ... so it seems like there is really hardly any interest in Glusterfs anymore. Thus it's time to remove the code now from QEMU.

Need a rebase on top of commit f168046842c ("cocci: Do not initialize variable used by QLIST_FOREACH macro").

Apparently we could now revert commits a6b257a08e3 ("file-posix: Handle undetectable alignment") and 3a20013fbb2 ("block: posix: Always allocate the first block"). Not sure if that could be useful for other backends or harmless. Cc'ing Nir.
I haven't looked at the specific code changes, but if it's file-posix, it's unrelated to the builtin gluster block driver in QEMU, but a file on a glusterfs mount on the host. We still need to behave correctly for that. (And if it can happen with glusterfs, it probably can happen with other filesystems, too.) Kevin
