Can bdrv_pread() ever do a short read?  If it can, then in the old code,
that was an error,

but in the new code it falls through to the remaining code; and I'm not
sure whether that changes semantics.

(My quick read of bdrv_pread() didn't find an obvious answer, but it DID
raise another question: why do we have '.iov_base = (void *)buf' when
buf is already void*?)
