The code is similar to the implementation of discard and write_zeroes
with UNMAP. However, failure must be propagated up to block.c.
The stale page cache problem can be reproduced as follows:
# modprobe scsi-debug lbpws=1 lbprz=1
# ./qemu-io /dev/sdXX
qemu-io> write -P 0xcc 0 2M
qemu-io> write -z 0 1M
qemu-io> read -P 0x00 0 512
Pattern verification failed at offset 0, 512 bytes
qemu-io> read -v 0 512
00000000: cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc ................
...
# ./qemu-io --cache=none /dev/sdXX
qemu-io> write -P 0xcc 0 2M
qemu-io> write -z 0 1M
qemu-io> read -P 0x00 0 512
qemu-io> read -v 0 512
00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
...
And similarly with discard instead of "write -z".

This is easy with the thread pool, because we can use s->is_xfs and
s->has_discard from the worker function.
QEMU has a widespread assumption that each I/O operation writes less
than 2^32 bytes. This patch doesn't fix it throughout of course,
but it starts correcting struct RawPosixAIOData so that there is
no regression with respect to the synchronous discard implementation.

With the new support for EventNotifiers in the AIO event loop, we
can hook a completion port to every opened file and use asynchronous
I/O on them.
Wine's support is extremely inefficient, also because it really does
the I/O synchronously on regular files. (!) But it works, and it is
good to keep the Win32 and POSIX ports as similar as possible.
