    Beginning to introduce those.  Just the callers for now, and it's
    clumsier than it'll eventually become; once we finish converting
    aio_read and aio_write instances, the things will get nicer.
    
    For now, these guys are in parallel to ->aio_read() and ->aio_write();
    they take iocb and iov_iter, with everything in iov_iter already
    validated.  File offset is passed in iocb->ki_pos, iov/nr_segs -
    in iov_iter.
    
    Main concerns in that series are stack footprint and ability to
    split the damn thing cleanly.
