It used to be the case that we discouraged the use of the aio code because
the kernel side of things was notoriously flakey (and in fact, had
security holes).  I know there has been quite a bit of cleanup since I
last noticed that was the case -- do we know if those concerns still
apply, and if so, whether we should stop a scary BUGS message into the aio
man pages, rather than just recommending people load the module?
