That is a problem.
Generally, adding new code in codepaths which lots of apps use is low-risk because problems will be found quickly.
But from a stabilising-the-kernel viewpoint, adding new code which does not require elevated privileges, and which is not used by any current applications and which doesn't even have a decent test suite is a big worry.
There is a little testcase in http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/aio/aio-userspace-18a.tar.gz but it is singly threaded.
