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.
