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 has to return -ENOTSUP if allocation cannot be done efficiently
(i.e. without falling back to writing actual buffers)

You might want the commit message to be a bit more verbose...

...in addition to adding the new flag here and documenting its semantics
for drivers...

...you also made sure that anywhere the flag is in use you avoid a slow

...as well as providing a sane default to make the flag always trigger
-ENOTSUP until individual drivers implement something in later patches.

I find it more readable with parentheses like this:

  assert(!(qiov && (flags & BDRV_REQ_ALLOCATE)));
  assert(!((flags & BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP) && (flags & BDRV_REQ_ALLOCATE)));
  if ((flags & BDRV_REQ_ALLOCATE) &&
      !(child->bs->supported_zero_flags & BDRV_REQ_ALLOCATE))

but your code is correct as it is.
