Description

Currently reads go to the read-only parent and affected sub volumes sequentially. It would be better to fire off both in parallel, wait, then perform the required logic.

BlockIO is not an async trait, nor was the Guest previously async - I'm pretty sure that parallel dispatch requires this?

Research direction

Start by tracing the Volume read path and reviewing the BlockIO and Guest traits mentioned in the issue. Determine how the read-only parent and affected sub volumes are dispatched, then verify that both reads can complete before the required follow-up logic runs.
