I think one of the problem in the AIO code is it allows user code to 
pass pipe, socket and other file
handles to  kernel,  however it may not work well, the AIO threads may 
be blocked
forever.  I suggest to disable support for socket or pipe except normal 
file or disk device.
it should either fully support it or do not support it at all, not 
half-baked.
