Maybe we can do it after the I/O performance improvements. I want to avoid the 
lots of memcpy used in the I/O operations, moving data from one buffer to the 
next. The idea is to simply hand over QByteArrays (or lists of QByteArrays, 
that is QRingBuffer) from one stage to the next.

Since QIODevice may be handling more than just one buffer in that case, we 
could introduce the concept of channels. (QBuffer and QFile have one channel 
only, TCP and Unix sockets have two, QProcess has three)
