I was able to use Xen images in file mode without using
--disable-direct-io-mode when running Fedora 12 alpha with
2.6.31.3-1.2.71.xendom0 kernel and Git version of GlusterFS.
Unfortunately, I had to disable all performance translators on client side
because using them crashed the client even when running ls.

I also tried with tap:aio and it got bit further than before. Instead of
hanging domU it gave me timeout error when trying to connect to the
device.
