Hmm, I have to test that reading from multiple disks in a single
io_submit request, which is what I actualy need anyway.

But my simple test fires of 10 requests and then waits for a minimum
of 5 events twice and gets them in t2o bunches. So I assumed it would
do them asynchronously. Maybe still in-order but that would be fine
with me.
