Actually I do have a v3 which uses posix-aio-compat.c
It's a much more complicated solution then just writing to a file though.
Also I am not sure if I need to use a signal or not as the migration (to-fd) 
code is polling. And if I use signal should I use SIGUSR2 or a different one and 
use a pipe similar to block-raw-posix.c ?

Your concern in the previous patch was that write() to a regular file might 
block. That's why I'm calling select before calling write. Do you think select 
will mark the fd as writeable but write would still block ?

Thanks,
