ide: convert ide_sector_read() to asynchronous I/O
The IDE PIO interface currently uses bdrv_read() to perform reads synchronously. Synchronous I/O in the vcpu thread is bad because it prevents the guest from executing code - it makes the guest unresponsive. This patch converts IDE PIO to use bdrv_aio_readv(). We simply need to use the BUSY_STAT status so the guest knows to wait while we are busy. The only external user of ide_sector_read() is restart behavior on I/O errors and it is not affected by this change. We still need to restart I/O in the same way. Migration is also unaffected if I understand the code correctly. We continue to use the same transfer function and the BUSY_STAT status should never be migrated since we flush I/O before migrating device state.
