aio_pthread won't hurt on FreeNAS (or any of the *BSD's)
but won't help as it only provides async opens where
each thread can have an independent user token (which
isn't the case on the *BSD's, only on Linux at the
moment).

The basic pthread-based AIO path is now built into
smbd directly (thanks to Volker !).
