aio: implement request batching
Hi,
Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor
due to the call to blk_run_address_space for every single iocb. Nathan
Roberts pointed this out, and suggested that by deferring this call
until all I/Os in the iocb array are submitted to the block layer, we
can realize some impressive performance gains (up to 30% for sequential
4k reads in batches of 16).
