There is a dead-lock in active mirror: when we have parallel
intersecting requests (note that non intersecting requests may be
considered intersecting after aligning to mirror granularity), it may
happen that request A waits request B in mirror_wait_on_conflicts() and
request B waits for A.
Look at the test for details. Test now dead-locks, that's why it's
disabled. Next commit will fix mirror and enable the test.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
* Intro
This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
* Usage
Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
* Feedback and patches
Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC:
to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
