the parallel stuff works with our implementation, Stefan tried it and with their
default the backup is much faster, so fast that the guest cannot do anything during
that anymore :D So, IIRC, Stefan turned the default number of parallel operations down
for a better balance of backup speed and guest impact.
FYI, we have basic packages for bullseye as base ready here, and possible sync to
pvetest in the next days/weeks - in those repos there's already QEMU 6.0.
Something else we can use with Bullseye/PVE 7 is io_uring instead of AIO, looks like
a much saner (and actually useful) design and there should be some, at least slight,
improvements due to that too.
