Hi, all This version reworked on REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support as suggested by Christoph and dropped the block core bits since Jens has picked them up. Fio test shows bio-based IO path gives the following performance improvement: 1) Ramdisk device With bio-based IO path, sequential read/write, random read/write IOPS boost : 28%, 24%, 21%, 16% Latency improvement: 32%,

Hi again all, It turns out that networking really wants ordered requests, which the previous patches didn't allow. This patch changes it to a callback mechanism; kudos to Avi. The downside is that locking is more complicated, and after a few dead ends I implemented the simplest solution: the struct virtio_device contains the spinlock to use, and it's held when your callbacks get
