That should be quite practical to implement (been doing VFS stuff a lot
recently it seems!).  To automatically test it, will it be enough to add
an additional share using vfs_aio_fork and run (say) RW1 against it with
'aio read size = 1' and 'aio write size = 1'?  Is there anything else I
should know?
