Vectored block device API (Avi Kivity)
Most devices that are capable of DMA are also capable of scatter-gather.
With the memory mapping API, this means that the device code needs to be
able to access discontiguous host memory regions.
For block devices, this translates to vectored I/O. This patch implements
an aynchronous vectored interface for the qemu block devices. At the moment
all I/O is bounced and submitted through the non-vectored API; in the future
we will convert block devices to natively support vectored I/O wherever
possible.
