When I try to "virsh edit" and add that "<driver io=.../>" it seems to
get stripped out of the config (as observed with "virsh dumpxml").
Doing some googling I discovered an alternate syntax (in message
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2011-June/msg00004.html):

<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native'/>

But the "io='native'" seems to get stripped out of that too.

FWIW, I have:

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.113.el6.x86_64
libvirt-client-0.8.1-27.el6.x86_64

installed here on CentOS 6.0.  Maybe this aio= is not supported in the
above package(s)?

Cheers,
b.
