The following patches are a collection of various (mostly 
retry infrastructure related) fixes, cleanups and enhancements
for AIO, that I have been maintaining for a while. I ran into
most of them while implementing support for default high
level retry methods (should also be helpful as a foundation
for some network AIO work). Now that we have in-tree use 
of the retry logic, it makes sense to merge these fixes 
upstream. They are mostly localised to AIO code.

Note: The latter two patches involve policy oriented 
optimizations to the AIO workqueue usage, so I chose 
to separate them out.

Please apply.

[1] aio-retry.patch
  Collection of AIO retry infrastructure fixes and enhancements
  AIO: Split iocb setup and execution in io_submit 
       (also fixes io_submit error reporting)
