Since around Linux kernel version 6.7 [0], and as reported by users
kernel version `6.8.4-2-pve`, a bug was introduced by a refactoring of
the io_read function in the io_uring subsystem. This causes any VM to
fail to start, when io_uring is used for CDROM drives (including
CloudInit drives) and VM disks (even though I could not reproduce the
latter).

The patch series contains the following changes:

1. refactor code for the upcoming changes (#1-#3),
2. allow changes to aio/cache options for CDROMs in the GUI (#4),
3. allow changes to aio/cache options for CloudInit in the GUI (#5-6).

The last two UI changes are an optional part that was discussed off-list
as a solution before I knew about the kernel patch and I would still
propose it as a useful set of changes.

These changes allow users to change the cache and async I/O options for
both CDROM and CloudInit drives. These changes are not necessary for the
whole patch series and can be applied separately, or dropped.

discussion

Since the kernel patch has already been applied to pve-kernel, the UI
changes might not be needed anymore, but could very well be an
additional solution (for this or other use cases).

Another discussion to this patch series - as Shannon and Fabian have
mentioned to me off-list - was if there are actual benefits for CDROM
and CloudInit drives to be read with io_uring enabled. If not, we could
remove the io_uring default from CDROMs and CloudInit drives in
config_to_command in qemu-server.

history
===

Differences to v1 (thanks to @Lukas for the style review):
- Remove the applied pve-kernel patch from the series
- Move refactoring in pve-manager to their own separate patches
- Use let instead of var (also in existing code for consistency, as
  no variable was dependent on its scope)
- Rename variables whose names were too unclear
- Change "widget.AsyncIOTypeSelector" to "widget.pveAsyncIoTypeSelector"
- Include a reason why the CDEdit modal width has been changed in the
  commit's message
- Adapt cover letter to refer only to the UI changes
