Currently each single write operation can result in 3 write operations
if guest offsets are not cluster aligned. One write is performed for the
real payload and two for COW-ed areas. Thus the data possibly lays
non-contiguously on the host filesystem. This will reduce further
sequential read performance significantly.

The patch allocates the space in the file with cluster granularity,
ensuring
  1. better host offset locality
  2. less space allocation operations
     (which can be expensive on distributed storage)

Maybe:

Currently each single guest write operation can result in up to 3 host
write operations

Is it worth a trace point, to easily track when we are using
handle_alloc_space()?  Or do existing trace points in
bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes already sufficiently serve the purpose?

This certainly looks better than v1!
