[Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH] xen_disk: treat "aio" as "raw"

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.
