AIO now seems to work fine and it's in complete sync with the 2.5 kernel

The 2.5 libaio that works with this kernel and 2.5 is here:

        http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/libaio/libaio-0.3.15-2.5.tar.gz

This libaio should work on all archs 32/64bit big/little endian (only
the syscall numbers are missing but a number of them aren't registered
yet, they can be easily added in the file syscall.h). The resulting
libaio binary will work with 2.5 kernels too. The API provided by the
above libaio is compatible with the libaio in the RHAS so Oracle for
RHAS should work fine on top of this kernel after installing the above
libaio.so.1 in /usr/lib/libaio.so.1 (it's still untested though).

Since nobody apparently knows the semantics of the io_queue_wait, such
call keeps doing nothing at the moment (and Oracle isn't using it so
it's not a problem). I reccomend nobody to use the io_queue_wait, and
I'd like to remove it in the long run unless somebody claims its
semantics.

Currently the kernel compiles only for x86 I guess, I will shortly
release a new -aa that hopefully will compile on some more
architectures, the changes needed should be very small.

One more thing, the make modules_install for some unknwon reasons
generates huge complains from depmod -ae at the end, just ignore them, I
don't know why these errors are showing up but the modules loads just
fine, so it has to be some kind of depmod of makefile mistake, but I'll
think about it after all archs compiles.
