I have compared kernel aio based loop-mq(the other 3 aio patches
against loop-mq v2, [1]) with loop-mq v3, looks the data isn't
better than loop-mq v3.
kernel aio based approach requires direct I/O, at least direct write
shouldn't be good as page cache write, IMO.
So I think we need to investigate kernel aio based approach further
wrt. loop improvement.
