I think the last sentence says that ZBC devices tend to have capacity == len whereas ZNS devices may have a unique capacity for each zone?

Add the specs for the zoned format feature of the qcow2 driver. The qcow2 file can be taken as zoned device and passed through by virtio-blk device or NVMe ZNS device to the guest given zoned information.
