Agreed. I'll rename it, fix the io_ordering.txt doc to only describe I/O
ordering issues, and resubmit it solely as a performance improvement API.
Grant, you say that I/O writes can't possibly arrive out of order if issued
from different CPUs on any machines you're aware of? If not, it may be that
the API will only benefit SGI machines.
Thanks,
Jesse
