This looks good to me, and I do suspect that any of these aio paths
should strive to have a synchronous vs threaded model. I think that
makes the whole thing much more interesting from a performance
standpoint.

I still think the aio interface is really nasty,  but this together
with the table-based approach you posted earlier does make me a _lot_
happier about the implementation.It just looks way less hacky, and now
it ends up exposing a rather more clever implementation too.
