new scsi-generic abstraction, use SG_IO (Christoph Hellwig)
Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in thenew world order.
I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/writeinterface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom...
FreeBSD host physical cdrom fixes
This improves physical cdrom support on FreeBSD hosts to be almost asgood as on Linux, with the only notable exception that you still need toeither have the guest itself eject the disc if you want to take itout/change it, or do a change command in the monitor after taking out...
Fix regression introduced by r6824
The changes introduced by r6824 broke a subtle, and admittedly obscure, aspectof the block API. While bdrv_{pread,pwrite} return the number of bytes reador written upon success, bdrv_{read,write} returns a zero upon success....
Drop internal bdrv_pread()/bdrv_pwrite() APIs (Avi Kivity)
Now that scsi generic no longer uses bdrv_pread() and bdrv_pwrite(), we candrop the corresponding internal APIs, which overlap bdrv_read()/bdrv_write()and, being byte oriented, are unnatural for a block device....
Add internal scsi generic block API (Avi Kivity)
Add an internal API for the generic block layer to send scsi generic commandsto block format driver. This means block format drivers no longer needto consider overloaded nb_sectors parameters.

Replace posix-aio with custom thread pool
glibc implements posix-aio as a thread pool and imposes a number of limitations.
