It is not mature yet. You can do IO to a rbd image, but it currently
does a queue depth of only 1.

We are in the process of merging patches from a couple branches to add
rbd aio support, failover/failback across gateways, perf improvements,
and lots of bug fixes. With them, linux works well, and we are working
on a couple windows bugs.

For ESX, we are hoping to be ready around the end of summer. You should
not use ESX with tcmu/tcmu-runner right now, because several commands
are not implemented or implemented incorrectly for ESX.
