Thank you very much! This solved the problems with qemu.

I found a fiemap-tester util[1] in the xfstests project and it runs fine on 
OCFS2 with 4K cluster size but fails with 1M. I have however no idea if this 
is a severe problem.

# gcc -DHAVE_FALLOCATE=1 -o fiemap-tester fiemap-tester.c 
# ./fiemap-tester /mnt/kvm-images/fiemap_test
Starting infinite run, if you don't see any output then its working properly.
HEY FS PERSON: your fs is weird.  I specifically wanted a
hole and you allocated a block anyway.  FIBMAP confirms that
you allocated a block, and the block is filled with 0's so
everything is kosher, but you still allocated a block when
didn't need to.  This may or may not be what you wanted,
which is why I'm only printing this message once, in case
you didn't do it on purpose. This was at block 0.
