from quickly scanning that page, the author is deeply confused.
select/epoll/sigio are not for asynchronous I/O at all, and posix
asynchronous I/O (which is a complete failure) is not the same thing as
linux async I/O (which is not generally usable).
libev corresponds to synchronous event driven non-blocking I/O, such as
using select/epoll, and libeio corresponds to POSIX asynchronous I/O.
