[I made a mistake with my last change to this patch. I misunderstood
what bdev_io_min() was all about. I needed to stick with
logical_block_size.]
This uses the new kernel aio interface to process loopback IO by
submitting concurrent direct aio. Previously loop's IO was serialized
by synchronous processing in a thread.
The aio operations specify the memory for the IO with the bio_vec arrays
directly instead of mappings of the pages.
The use of aio operations is enabled when the backing file supports the
read_iter, write_iter and direct_IO methods.
