This would be stupid and in general cannot be implemented this way.
If there is a request for the file descriptor running, why should it's
progress be hindered by processing the aio_fsync immediately?  Also,
if this would be the right interpretation, why should this function
exist since it's obviously the same as a simple fsync() call?
