This adds support for synchronous iocbs and converts generic_file_read to use a sync iocb to call into generic_file_aio_read. The tests I've run with lmbench on a piii-866 showed no difference in file re-read speed when forced to use a completion path via aio_complete and an -EIOCBQUEUED return from generic_file_aio_read -- people with slower machines might want to test this to see if we can tune it any better. Also, a bug fix to correct a missing call into the aio code from the fork code is present. This patch sets things up for making generic_file_aio_read actually asynchronous.
