So while you interface looks pretty sane the > implementation needs a lot of work still :) Networking and disk AIO have significantly different needs. Therefore, I really don't see it as reasonable to expect a merge of these two things. It doesn't make any sense. I do agree that this stuff needs to be cleaned up, all the get_block etc. hacks have to be pulled out and abstracted properly. That part of the kevent changes are indeed still crap :)
