In our test, the performance of SCSI HBA is better than our patch
performance in qemu 0.9.0, But we find the total I/O preformance
downgrade a lot after upgrade to qemu 0.9.0. We suspect there may be
some issues in qemu 0.9.0.

Yes, if there are many these buffering cases, using a generic interface
is a final solution.
