Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/6] storage_backend_iscsi_direct: Simplify vol zeroing

So far we have two branches: either we zero BLOCK_PER_PACKET (currently 128) block at one, or if we're close to the last block then we zero out one block at the time. This is very suboptimal. We know how many block are there left. Might as well just write them all at once.
