PostgreSQL is a potential user of async fdatasync, fsync,
sync_file_range and potentially readahead, write, read. First tests with
Dave's async fsync/fsync_range are positive, so are the results with a
self-hacked async sync_file_range (although I'm kinda thinking that it
shouldn't really require to be used asynchronously).

I rather doubt openat, unlink et al are going to be interesting for
*us*, the requires structural changes would be too bit. But obviously
that doesn't mean anything for others.
