The raw format driver can simply forward the flag and let its bs->file
child take care of actually providing the zeros.

Shouldn't this be:

bs->supported_truncate_flags = (bs->file->bs->supported_truncate_flags &
                                 BDRV_REQ_ZERO_WRITE);

rather than unconditionally advertising something that the underlying 
layer may lack?

Maybe that makes more sense, yes.

I think in practice it wouldn't make a difference because the nested
bdrv_co_truncate() would still fail rather than silently ignoring the
flag. It would behave the same as filter drivers, which also recursively
call bdrv_co_truncate() without checking the flag first (which is, of
course, because I don't want to modify each filter driver).

If nothing else, it is more consistent with what we are doing for 
supported_zero_flags.  I also argue that having a reference to the 
passthrough is easier to grep for, if we ever add new flags in the 
future.  That is, while keeping passthrough as opt-in rather than blind 
copying or blind assignment is slightly more code, it is easier to maintain.

Probably true, but consistency and ease of maintenance are better than 
proving action at a distance :)
