This series cuts down the amount of fiels in the public iocb that is
allocated on stack for every synchronous I/O, both by removing fields
from it, and by adding a aio-specific iocb that is only allocated
for aio requests.

Additionally it cleans up various corner cases in the aio completion
code and allowes for adding a simple in-kernel async read/write
interface.

The first few patches are from Al's gadget branch and reposted
here because they are needed for the rest of the series.
