Sometimes the toolstack uses "aio" without an additional format
identifier, in such cases use "raw".
Shouldn't this rather be a patch to the toolstack then? We do automatic
file format recognition as default. I find magical "aio equals raw"
subtleties rather unintuitive.
The asynchronous raw blktap driver is (was?) called "aio", so I guess
it's to stay compatible with that. Has always been this way in Xen (and
has always been confusing). As long as it stays in xen_disk.c, I don't
really mind...
