Subject: [PATCH V8 00/33] loop: Issue O_DIRECT aio using bio_vec

This patch series adds a kernel interface to fs/aio.c so that kernel code can
issue concurrent asynchronous IO to file systems.  It adds an aio command and
file system methods which specify io memory with pages instead of userspace
addresses.

This series was written to reduce the current overhead loop imposes by
performing synchronus buffered file system IO from a kernel thread.  These
patches turn loop into a light weight layer that translates bios into iocbs.

It introduces new file ops, read_iter() and write_iter(), that replace the
aio_read() and aio_write() operations. The iov_iter structure can now contain
either a user-space iovec or a kernel-space bio_vec. Since it would be
overly complicated to replace every instance of aio_read() and aio_write(),
the old operations are not removed, but file systems implementing the new
ones need not keep the old ones.

Verion 8 is little changed from Version 7 that I send out in March, just
updated to the latest kernel. These patches apply to 3.11-rc2 and can
also be found at:
