The `detect-zeroes=unmap` option may issue unaligned
`FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE` requests, raw block devices can (and will) return
`EINVAL`, qemu should then write the zeroes to the blockdev instead of
issuing an `IO_ERROR`.
The problem can be reprodced like this:
$ qemu-io -c 'write -P 0 42 1234' --image-opts driver=host_device,filename=/dev/loop0,detect-zeroes=unmap
write failed: Invalid argument
