From: Matthias Dahl <mdvirt at designassembly.de>

qemu allows the user to choose what io storage api should be used, either the
default (threads) or native (linux aio) which in the latter case can result in
better performance.

Thanks a lot to Eric Blake and Matthias Bolte for their comments.

This is so simple, maybe it's worth squashing into 3/4?
