We have a request for tmpfs to support the AIO interface: easily done, no more than replacing the old shmem_file_read by shmem_file_aio_read, cribbed from generic_file_aio_read. (In 2.6.25 its write side was already changed to use generic_file_aio_write.) Incorporate cleanups from Andrew Morton and Harvey Harrison. Tests out fine with LTP's ltp-aiodio.sh, given hacks (not included) to support O_DIRECT. tmpfs cannot honestly support O_DIRECT: its cache-avoiding-IO nature is at odds with direct IO-avoiding-cache.
