Re: [PATCH v2 15/17] virfdstream: Emulate skip for block devices

This is similar to one of previous patches. When receiving stream (on virStorageVolUpload() and subsequent virStreamSparseSendAll()) we may receive a hole. If the volume we are saving the incoming data into is a regular file we just lseek() and ftruncate() to create the hole. But this won't work if the file is a block device. If that is the case we must write zeroes so that any subsequent reader reads nothing just zeroes (just like they would from a hole in a regular file).
