Okay, so I think we have at least two problems here:

* qcow2 doesn't implement bdrv_is_inserted, so the IDE emulation thinks
  there is a medium when there isn't. Reading produces only errors.

* This seems to be an error case where bdrv_aio_readv fails
  immediately. In this case, qcow2 calls the callback directly, but it
  should use a bottom half. This leads to an unexpected state in IDE
  and lets the assertion fail.

I think we must fix the latter. Not sure what to do about the former,
it's probably similar to forwarding bdrv_eject().
