This patch expands tabs on a few lines so the code formats nicely and
follows the QEMU coding style.

The context parameter in paio_submit isn't used anyway, so there is no reason
why block drivers should need to remember it. This also avoids passing a Linux
AIO context to paio_submit (which doesn't do any harm as long as the parameter
is unused, but it is highly confusing).

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.
Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

Instead stalling the VCPU while serving a cache flush try to do it
asynchronously. Use our good old helper thread pool to issue an
asynchronous fdatasync for raw-posix. Note that while Linux AIO
implements a fdatasync operation it is not useful for us because
it isn't actually implement in asynchronous fashion.

Currently the raw-posix.c code contains a lot of knowledge about the
asynchronous I/O scheme that is mostly implemented in posix-aio-compat.c.
All this code does not really belong here and is getting a bit in the
way of implementing native AIO on Linux.
So instead move all the guts of the AIO implementation into
posix-aio-compat.c (which might need a better name, btw).
There's now a very small interface between the AIO providers and raw-posix.c:
- an init routine is called from raw_open_common to return an AIO context
for this drive. An AIO implementation may either re-use one context
for all drives, or use a different one for each as the Linux native
AIO support will do.
- an submit routine is called from the aio_reav/writev methods to submit
an AIO request
There are no indirect calls involved in this interface as we need to
decide which one to call manually. We will only call the Linux AIO native
init function if we were requested to by vl.c, and we will only call
the native submit function if we are asked to and the request is properly
aligned. That's also the reason why the alignment check actually does
the inverse move and now goes into raw-posix.c.
The old posix-aio-compat.h headers is removed now that most of it's
content is private to posix-aio-compat.c, and instead we add a new
block/raw-posix-aio.h headers is created containing only the tiny interface
between raw-posix.c and the AIO implementation.

This ties up the preadv/pwritev syscalls to qemu if they are declared in

will hopefully soon be the case on Linux.

Make all AIO requests vectored and defer linearization until the actual
I/O thread. This prepares for using native preadv/pwritev.
Also enables asynchronous direct I/O by handling that case in the I/O thread.
Qcow and qcow2 propably want to be adopted to directly deal with multi-segment
requests, but that can be implemented later.

Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the
new world order.
I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write
interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom
devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an
example.
Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than
bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous
requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple.
Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction
and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy
enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough
on a non-Linux OS.
Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest
to a host CDROM device.

pthread_cond_timedwait is allowed to both consume the signal and
return with the value indicating the timeout, hence predicate should
always be (re)checked before taking an action

Broadcast was used so that the I/O threads would wakeup, reset their
ts values and all but one go to sleep, in other words an optimization
to prevent threads from exiting in presence of continuing I/O
activity. Spurious wakeups make the looping around cond_timedwait with
ever reinitialized ts potentially unsafe and as such ts in no longer
reinitilized inside the loop, hence switch to signal is warranted and
this benefits of this particlaur optimization are lost.
(It's worth noting that timed variants of pthread calls use realtime
clock by default, and therefore can hang "forever" should the host
time be changed. Unfortunatelly not all host systems QEMU runs on
support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and/or pthread_condattr_setclock with this
value)

When we cancel an AIO request that is already being processed by
aio_thread, qemu_paio_cancel should return QEMU_PAIO_NOTCANCELED as long
as aio_thread isn't done with this request. But as the latter currently
updates aiocb->ret after every block of the request, we may report
QEMU_PAIO_ALLDONE too early.
Futhermore, in case some zero-length request should have been queued,
aiocb->ret is never set to != -EINPROGRESS and callers like
raw_aio_cancel could get stuck in an endless loop.
Fix those issues by updating aiocb->ret _after_ the request has been
fully processed. This also simplifies the locking.

glibc implements posix-aio as a thread pool and imposes a number of limitations.
1) it limits one request per-file descriptor. we hack around this by dup()'ing
file descriptors which is hideously ugly
2) it's impossible to add new interfaces and we need a vectored read/write
operation to properly support a zero-copy API.
What has been suggested to me by glibc folks, is to implement whatever new
interfaces we want and then it can eventually be proposed for standardization.
This requires that we implement our own posix-aio implementation though.
This patch implements posix-aio using pthreads. It immediately eliminates the
need for fd pooling.
It performs at least as well as the current posix-aio code (in some
circumstances, even better).
