Pls keep in mind that PV guests can use QEMU qdisk if they wish.
This is more of 'phy' vs 'file' question.

.. and I think doing it in the kernel is not a good idea. With PVH
coming as the initial domain - we will now have solved the @$@#@@
syscall bounce to hypervisor slowpath - which means that any libaio
operations QEMU does on a file - which ends up going to the kernel
with a syscall - will happen without incuring a huge context switch!
In other words the speed difference between qdisk and xen-blkback
will now be just the syscall + aio code + fs overhead.
With proper batching this can be made faster*.
*: I am ignoring the other issues such as grant unmap in PVH guests
and qdisk being quite spartan in features compared to xen-blkback.
