Some months back I proposed changing the schedule() call in
read_events to an io_schedule():
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.kernel.aio.general/2006-10/msg00024.html
This was rejected as there are AIO operations that do not initiate
disk I/O.  I've had another look at the problem, and the only AIO
operation that will not initiate disk I/O is IOCB_CMD_NOOP.  However,
this command isn't even wired up!

Given that it doesn't work, and hasn't for *years*, I'm going to
suggest again that we do proper I/O accounting when using AIO.
