[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 00/11] live-restore for PBS snapshots

First two patches are unrelated cleanups to QEMU patches-in-patches, patch 3
depends on them though.

v2:
* incorporated review feedback on qemu-server patches
* updated and rebased QEMU patches for 5.2
* fixed live-restore to ceph RBD - note that restoring to user-space Ceph is
  still rather slow, I suspect it's the same bug that effects snapshot writing
  as well, bigger buffers make it only slightly better

Original cover letter:

"live-restore" allows starting a VM immediately from a backup snapshot, no
waiting for a long restore process. This is made possible with QEMU backing
images, i.e. data is read from the backup which is attached to the VM as a
drive, but new data is written to the destination, while a background process
('block-stream') copies over data in a linear fashion as well.

QEMU backing images are normally only supported for qcow2 images, but since the
destination always starts out empty, we can use a dirty bitmap to achieve the
same effect - this is implemented as the 'alloc-track' driver in the 'qemu' part
of the series.

The Rust part of the equation is adjusted to provide (quiet a lot) more caching,
as mixing random read/write from the guest with the linear reads from the
background process (both of which may use read sizes smaller or bigger than a
single chunk) would thrash performance without large buffers.

I've marked the feature as 'experimental' in the GUI for now, as I'm sure there
are a lot of edge cases I've missed to test, and there's also the possibility of
data loss, since anything the VM writes during the restore is removed if the
restore fails.
