This is useful for people who want to use aio in kernel, e.g. vhost-blk.

Um, I think you don't quite understand how aio in the kernel would work;
it's not as simple as just exporting the interfaces.  There's already a
(very long) patch set from oracle to do this so loop can use aio:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=133312234313122

Oh, I did not see this patch set. Thanks for pointing it out! This bit hasn't merged, right? I'd love to use the aio_kernel_() interface if it is merged. It will simply vhost-blk. Due to lack of better kernel aio interface, we are currently doing io_setup, io_submit, etc. in vhost-blk on our own.
