Tomas Hruby 72b7abd1a1 VFS - no CANCEL for async non-blocking operations
- if an operation (R, W, IOCTL) is non blocking, a flag is set
  and sent to the device.

- nothing changes for sync devices

- asyn devices should reply asap if an operation is non-blocking.
  We must trust the devices, but we had to trust them anyway to
  reply to CANCEL correctly

- we safe sending CANCEL commands to asyn devices. This greatly
  simplifies the protocol. Asynchronous devices can always reply
  when a reply is ready and do not need to deal with other
  situations

- currently, none of our drivers use the flags since they drive
  virtual devices which do not block
