raw-posix: add Linux native AIO support
Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native AIO support. It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly from there. This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes there's not much left of it. To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the drive command line. I have also added an option to qemu-io to test the aio support without needing a guest.
