pflash: Only read non-zero parts of backend image
Currently we fill the VIRT_FLASH memory space with two 64MB NOR images
when using persistent UEFI variables on virt board. Actually we only use
a very small(non-zero) part of the memory while the rest significant
large(zero) part of memory is wasted.

So this patch checks the block status and only writes the non-zero part
into memory. This requires pflash devices to use sparse files for
backends.
