Hi Ming Lei, would you like to repost these patches now that MQ support is in the kernel? Also, I changed my mind about moving linux-aio to AioContext. I now think it's a good idea, because it limits the number of io_getevents syscalls. O:-) So I would be happy to review your patches for that as well.
