Hi Anthony,

I didn't modify aio_init limit...

I made some benchmarks with liposix-aio, but results are worst with IDE and
crashes with SCSI (because I need to make some additional works).

It's the part on which I work now (to align buffers to avoid redundant buffer
copy and open image disk with O_DIRECT).

Regards,
Laurent
