Alan, can you lend me a hand with this?  I'm a bit confused as to
the right way to proceed...

src/include/limits.h has:

#define _POSIX_AIO_LISTIO_MAX   16
#define _POSIX_AIO_MAX          1

however I think the relevant defines from vfs_aio.c are:

#ifndef MAX_AIO_QUEUE
#define MAX_AIO_QUEUE           1024 /* Bigger than AIO_LISTIO_MAX */
#endif

and sys/aio.h:

../sys/aio.h:#define    AIO_LISTIO_MAX          16

so what to do?

Should I set _POSIX_AIO_MAX to 1024?  Or leaving it at 1 makes sense
because people should be using sysconf(3)?

Can I set vfs_aio to use the defines in include/limits.h?
Or do we need to move them to syslimits.h?
