Man, I am batting 1000! Randy also made fun of my 'intead'.

Yeah, this seemed to be the lesser of the available evils. We (Chris
and I, while in california) considered introducing a primitive to
have the submission path wait for aio_complete() to be called so that
it could just return the error. We also thought about turning EIOCB
{RETRY,QUEUED} into bits on the iocb instead of return codes that we
have to lovingly pass back up to fs/aio.c.

This seemed to be the least intrusive :/.
