The flag is supposed to indicate that the region of the disk image has
to be sufficiently allocated so it reads as zeroes.
The call with the flag set must return -ENOTSUP if allocation cannot
be done efficiently.
This has to be made sure of by both
- the drivers that support the flag
- and the common block layer (so it will not fall back to any slowpath
(like writing zero buffers) in case the driver does not support
the flag).

Why don't we have this check in bdrv_co_pwritev?
However, similar check about UNMAP is here too, so:
