I noticed that with the previous code we would write zeroes to the first
image (i == 0), and with that I can't reproduce the bug. I assume that
block-stream doesn't copy the data in that case. Changing it to anything
!= 0 solves the problem.
And answering your question, it doesn't really matter if we write the
same value in all places, we only check the output of 'qemu-io -c map'.
Plus the areas don't even overlap.
