Alberto Garcia 52253998ec qcow2: Give the refcount cache the minimum possible size by default
The L2 and refcount caches have default sizes that can be overridden
using the l2-cache-size and refcount-cache-size (an additional
parameter named cache-size sets the combined size of both caches).

Unless forced by one of the aforementioned parameters, QEMU will set
the unspecified sizes so that the L2 cache is 4 times larger than the
refcount cache.

This is based on the premise that the refcount metadata needs to be
only a fourth of the L2 metadata to cover the same amount of disk
space. This is incorrect for two reasons:

 a) The amount of disk covered by an L2 table depends solely on the
    cluster size, but in the case of a refcount block it depends on
    the cluster size *and* the width of each refcount entry.
    The 4/1 ratio is only valid with 16-bit entries (the default).

 b) When we talk about disk space and L2 tables we are talking about
    guest space (L2 tables map guest clusters to host clusters),
    whereas refcount blocks are used for host clusters (including
    L1/L2 tables and the refcount blocks themselves). On a fully
    populated (and uncompressed) qcow2 file, image size > virtual size
    so there are more refcount entries than L2 entries.

Problem (a) could be fixed by adjusting the algorithm to take into
account the refcount entry width. Problem (b) could be fixed by
increasing a bit the refcount cache size to account for the clusters
used for qcow2 metadata.

However this patch takes a completely different approach and instead
of keeping a ratio between both cache sizes it assigns as much as
possible to the L2 cache and the remainder to the refcount cache.

The reason is that L2 tables are used for every single I/O request
from the guest and the effect of increasing the cache is significant
and clearly measurable. Refcount blocks are however only used for
cluster allocation and internal snapshots and in practice are accessed
sequentially in most cases, so the effect of increasing the cache is
negligible (even when doing random writes from the guest).

So, make the refcount cache as small as possible unless the user
explicitly asks for a larger one.
