Rather than using "unsigned long" which is ABI-dependent, use
__kernel_ulong_t to define the externally visible type aio_context_t.
Note: the change in this form will cause unsigned long/unsigned int
differences on existing ABIs. If that is unacceptable we may have to
define a new type.

This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code,
in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd (hence
compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd
fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd. This patch
uses a reserved for future use member of the struct iocb to pass an eventfd
file descriptor, that KAIO will use to post events every time a request
completes. At that point, an aio_getevents() will return the completed result
to a struct io_event. I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it
runs fine here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c
The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with select and epoll
too.
This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices
requests, and wait for results using select/poll/epoll. In a typical
scenario, an application would submit KAIO request using aio_submit(), and
will also use epoll_ctl() on the whole other class of devices (that with the
addition of signals, timers and user events, now it's pretty much complete),
and then would:
epoll_wait(...);
for_each_event {
if (curr_event_is_kaiofd) {
aio_getevents();
dispatch_aio_events();
} else {
dispatch_epoll_event();
}
}

This work is initially done by Zach Brown to add support for vectored aio.
These are the core changes for AIO to support
IOCB_CMD_PREADV/IOCB_CMD_PWRITEV.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
