libaio (asynchronous I/O library) is needed to compile xfstests,
and xfsdump is called pretty frequently in the tests.
Snippets from the manpages:
The libaio library defines a new set of I/O operations which can
significantly reduce the time an application spends waiting at I/O.
The new functions allow a program to initiate one or more I/O
operations and then immediately resume normal work while the I/O
operations are executed in parallel.
xfsdump backs up files and their attributes in a filesystem. The
files are dumped to storage media, a regular file, or standard
output. Options allow the operator to have all files dumped, just
files that have changed since a previous dump, or just files
contained in a list of pathnames.
