This patchset implements bio-based IO path for virito-blk to improve
performance.
Fio test shows bio-based IO path gives the following performance improvement:
1) Ramdisk device
With bio-based IO path, sequential read/write, random read/write
IOPS boost : 28%, 24%, 21%, 16%
Latency improvement: 32%, 17%, 21%, 16%
2) Fusion IO device
With bio-based IO path, sequential read/write, random read/write
IOPS boost : 11%, 11%, 13%, 10%
Latency improvement: 10%, 10%, 12%, 10%
