Looks OK to me. I worried

#define AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE        0x0001 /* will not do a short write */

which forbids (!?) aborting the loop. But it seems that this flag is
no longer checked (i.e. set but not used). So, everybody should be ready
for short write, although I don't know whether exofs / hfs / hfsplus are
doing appropriate error handling.
