Sian, Andrew,

Can we commit HARMONY-5916 (I/O-processing decoupling)? It's rather a
huge patch, so it's inconvenient to use with rapidly-changed trunk,
and my measurements show no performance degradation in ST version.
Andrew, can you confirm no degradation?

I had just updated patch to reflect latest changes.

Thanks,
Aleksey.
