[PATCH] Update to libaio?

I recently tried to use libaio (0.3.106), and discovered it didn't have eventfd support. Or preadv/pwritev support. And the testsuite didn't compile. Or work. Anyway, it's shipped by the distros, so I figure it's worth patching. I'm cc'ing Ben in the hope he's still maintaining it. If not I'll

Re: [PATCH] Update to libaio?

I think the Debian package maintainer should also be involved in this. I would love to see preadv and pwritev go into libaio, as they will be useful for userspace USB driver developers to interface with usbfs2 (http://wiki.cs.pdx.edu/usb/usbfs2.html). I do have a few more issues with the libaio-d
