When using the PBS blockdriver with qemu-nbd (for example), it can happen that
enough read requests are issued to saturate the tokio thread pool. Not an issue
in general, but as me and Wolfgang painstakenly discovered a while back, it does
break block_on, which is used in BufferedFixedReader. This means that reading
larger amounts of data would hang the QEMU process [0].
Fix this by making the entire BufferedFixedReader API async, thus not requiring
a block_on.
Additionally I discovered a seperate bug (fixed by patch 3), wherein read
requests that we're not aligned to the chunk size would return bogus data. This
too only seems to happen in non-VM connections (e.g. nbd, etc...).
[0] ...and since the NBD kernel driver appears to be horribly broken, this often
also crashes most of the system, but that's a different story. If you ever get
in this situation, 'nbd-client -d /dev/nbdX' works (sometimes) to force
disconnect the device ('qemu-nbd -d' intelligently issues a read before
disconnecting, thus hanging before getting anything done...)
