+          qemu: support async IO mode 'io_uring'
+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          Linux 5.1 introduces a fast and efficient async IO interface
+          io_uring, then qemu implements that in version 5.0. It could be used
+          in file, host device and host cdrom backend by
+          <code>io='io_uring'</code> of disk XML.
