That it's called only by coroutines isn't a reason to make a function
coroutine_fn as long as it theoretically could be called by
non-coroutine code and it would still work fine (i.e. it doesn't yield).

Specifically this hunk is unclear to me.

As far as I can see, block_status() can't yield. Why did you add the
coroutine_fn marker here, but not e.g. for seek_to_sector() or
cluster_remainder(), which are only called by block_status() and
therefore also always only in coroutine context?

I believe the right way to stay consistent is to leave all of them
unmarked because there is no fundamental reason why they would only make
sense in coroutine context.

This doesn't match the declaration of the .bdrv_reopen_commit callback
in BlockDriver, and as far as I can see, the callers are actually
guaranteed to _not_ be in coroutine context.

If this is true, qcow2_update_options_commit() should probably be marked
coroutine_mixed_fn and this one stay unannotated or no_coroutine_fn.

The other parts of the patch looks correct.
