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 [email protected] 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.)
OK it makes sense, thanks!
