aio manuals

Hi!
The io_* manuals says that we should use aio_context_t as type for aio
handle. That is wrong as the functions are defined with io_context_t
(libaio.h). Patch attached.

The only oustanding issue is that manual for io_setup says that we must
set the io_context_t to 0 before use. And as the io_context_t is defined
as opaque type (and it's defined as pointer now) the only way to
initalize it without warnigs is memset(&ctxp, 0, sizeof(ctxp));. Perhaps
this is not needed at all, as the ctpx is passed to the syscall and then
initalized in the kernel (at least I haven't seem any checks in the
codepath).
