[GIT PULL] IO poll support

[Jens Axboe]

Hi Linus,

Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
(really) fast devices. The code has been reviewed and has been sitting
on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough for
coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.

Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported. A framework is in the
works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune this. And
we'll add libaio support as well soon. Fow now, it's an opt-in feature
for test purposes.

Please pull!
