Subject: [PATCH 1/3] aoe: perform I/O completions in parallel

Some users have a large AoE target while others like to use
many AoE targets at the same time.  In the latter case, there
is an opportunity to greatly improve aggregate throughput by
allowing different threads to complete the I/O associated
with each target.  For 36 targets, 4 KiB read throughput
roughly doubles, for example, with these changes in place.
