Allow read and write I/Os to be issued synchronous. Users include the
LightNVM core to implement system block support and similar.

I think the right way to implement this is to wait in the caller,
e.g. set your end_io handler to a trivial one that just does a complete
and add a completion that you can wait on in the caller.
