for which gcc 4.9.0 complains about, like this:
block-qcow.c: In function `get_cluster_offset':
block-qcow.c:431:3: error: `tmp_ptr' may be used uninitialized in this function

memcpy(tmp_ptr, l1_ptr, 4096);

block-qcow.c:606:7: error: `tmp_ptr2' may be used uninitialized in this
function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
if (write(s->fd, tmp_ptr2, 4096) != 4096) {

/home/dario/Sources/xen/xen/xen.git/tools/blktap2/drivers/../../../tools/Rules.mk:89:
recipe for target 'block-qcow.o' failed
make[5]: *** [block-qcow.o] Error 1
The proper behavior is to return upon allocation failure.
About what to return, 0 seems the best option, looking
at both the function and the call sites.
