So I'm pretty sure this patch is what we want, and rw_verify_area()

Patch works on my machine also. 

At the same time, I would *really* want somebody who actually uses

but also mark it for stable - and it would be nice to have some more
testing than me saying "ok, it passes the one test-case sent to me"
and "hey, the code looks sane".

Used Chris Mason's aio-stress.c
