aiomaxevents :

 This patch adds a posix_aio_default_maxevents sysctl variable for configuring the
default AIO context event ring size at runtime. This way, calling sys_io_setup with
nr_events=0, will result in the kernel using the default system value.

 This tunable is accessible via /proc/sys/fs/posix-aio-default-max-nr.
