This series converts the cow image driver to the block API. This fixes a failure in qemu-iotests 012, and allows compiling it on window by removing the dependency on mmap. The downside is that it's possible a lot slower for bitmap accesses, at least with the current naive implementation. Anyone who cares seriously enough about cow is welcome to optimize the bitmap access.
