Then we mustn’t let cor_co_preadv_part() pass the flag on to
bdrv_co_preadv_part() unless BDRV_REQ_COPY_ON_READ is set, too.  I
suspect the following patch is going to do that, but in the meantime the
code is wrong.

Perhaps just swap both patches?

And by the way, I’m also missing a patch that makes the block layer
evaluate supported_read_flags and e.g. strip BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH if it
isn’t supported, before it gets passed to such a block driver.
