I'm currently rewriting the block-raw-posix.c O_DIRECT support.  I'll 
commit your patches once I finish that.

I'm switching everything to use the aio functions, introducing a memory 
pool so that we can efficiently allocate memory for new requests without 
having unbounded memory allocation, and switching all the synchronous 
functions to use the aio functions.

Regards,
