The comment in aio_kick_handler(), "we're in a worker thread already, don't 
use queue_delayed_work" triggered me to do this. Ran multiple instances 
of Stephen Hemminger's aio cp for basic testing.

I think this would make it unfair between different kioctx? May be only the 
comment should be removed?
