Please send a version that does direct block I/O similar to xen-blkback

Seems xen-blkback converts the guest IO request to host bio and submit them directly. I was wondering whether this has a performance gain compared to AIO implementation.

If we get proper in-kernel aio support one day you can add
back file backend support.

I talked with Dave and Zack on the in-kernel aio patch which James pointed out:

Dave will post a new version soon. I will wait for it.
