I was hoping that Al would review and apply these, given that he's listed as the
maintainer for this file, and he's worked on this code before.  I was also
hoping for review from Christoph, since he added IOCB_CMD_POLL originally.  But
yes, if I don't hear anything I'll just send you a pull request.  I might
include https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210913111928.98-1-xieyongji@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
too, since it's an obviously correct aio fix which has been ignored for months.
