I'm looking at doing 32-bit compat for AIO, and the __spare__ thing in 'struct 
aiocb' strikes me as rather odd.  For one, why not use 'struct osigevent 
__spare__;' instead of the explicit sizeof()'s?  The sizeof's make 
assumptions about padding for example.  Secondly, since you bumped the 
syscalls for the new structure, you didn't need the __spare__ hack at all.
