The patch introduces new concept: minimal memory alignment for bounce
buffers. Original so called "optimal" value is actually minimal required
value for aligment. It should be used for validation that the IOVec
is properly aligned and bounce buffer is not required.
Though, from the performance point of view, it would be better if
bounce buffer or IOVec allocated by QEMU will be aligned stricter.
The patch does not change any alignment value yet.

This is the behavior in the operating system, for example Linux's
blkdev_write_iter has the following:
if (bdev_read_only(I_BDEV(bd_inode)))
return -EPERM;
This does not apply to opening a device for read/write, when the
device only supports read-only operation. In this case any of
EACCES, EPERM or EROFS is acceptable depending on why writing is
not possible.

The block.c file has grown to over 6000 lines. It is time to split this
file so there are fewer conflicts and the code is easier to maintain.
Extract I/O request processing code:
* Read
* Write
* Zero writes and making the image empty
* Flush
* Discard
* ioctl
* Tracked requests and queuing
* Throttling and copy-on-read
* Block status and allocated functions
* Refreshing block limits
* Reading/writing vmstate
* qemu_blockalign() and friends
The patch simply moves code from block.c into block/io.c.
