[Libguestfs] [PATCH libnbd v2 8/9] golang: aio_buffer.go: Benchmark copy flows
Add benchmark for coping a buffer using 3 strategies - reusing same
buffer, making a new uninitialized buffer per copy, and using a zeroed
buffer per copy. This benchmark is the worst possible case, copying a
buffer to memory. Any real I/O will be much slower, hiding the overhead
of allocating or zeroing buffers.
