Linking against libaio allows tgt to use libaio as a backend for submitting IO
to the backing device.
The default backend uses pread64/pwrite64. Adding an additional backed does
not change this default
For users to consume the aio backend, they must specify the backend type
via command line switch (from tgtadm manpage):
-E, --bstype <type>
When creating a LUN, this parameter specifies the type of backend
storage to to use.
I believe that aio is out of the way for default users. I'd like to get
some testing done on the aio backend before we say we'll support it.
