Yes, and I don't exclude that sooner or later we'll have to add
reference counts to AIOCB anyway. However, reference counting is not
_that_ cheap so for now I'd rather see other solutions explored.
The problem is implementing cancel_sync in terms of cancel. The
simplest solution, for now, is to make bdrv_aio_cancel_async return
false if the callback is not implemented, and fall back to synchronous
cancellation.
