I'm inclined to apply the first two patches as infrastructure, since they 
seem to make sense regardless of data=ordered. The ability to get a 
callback when IO ends sounds like something that a number of cases might 
find intriguing, and it's obviously how the actual IO has worked 
internally anyway.
