SubjectRe: [patch 00/13] Syslets, "Threadlets", generic AIO support, v3

that's quite close to what Jens' FIO plugin for syslets
(engines/syslet-rw.c) does currently: it builds lists of syslets as IO
gets submitted, batches them up for some time and then sends them off.
It is a natural next step to do this for in-flight syslets as well.
