[Qemu-block] [PATCH for-2.3] raw-posix: Deprecate aio=threads fallback w


From: Kevin Wolf
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH for-2.3] raw-posix: Deprecate aio=threads fallback without O_DIRECT
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 13:48:57 +0100

Currently, if the user requests aio=native, but forgets to choose a
cache mode that sets O_DIRECT, that request is silently ignored and raw
falls back to aio=threads.

Deprecate that behaviour so we can make it an error in future qemu
versions.
