Sequential reads using 4 concurrent dd if=/dev/vdb iflag=direct
of=/dev/null bs=8k processes.  2 vcpu guest with 4 GB RAM, virtio
block devices, cache=none.  Host storage is a striped LVM volume.
Host kernel kvm.git and qemu-kvm.git userspace.

aio=native and aio=threads each run 3 times.

Result: aio=native has 15% lower throughput than aio=threads.

I haven't looked into this so I don't know what is causes these results.
