:Is VFS_AIO going to be made safe to enable on systems with untrusted local 
:users?

    I am not contemplating doing any work on AIO in the kernel. In fact I 
    expect we will be ripping it out in favor of a userland equivalent that
    will use the async syscall support to handle AIO.  But that is in the
    future.
