OK, so at this point (just to get rid of the build failure I have done this:
I have reset the aio tree head to commit
b47275df9e1c ("aio: add support for aio poll via aio thread helper")
and then cherry-picked the following commits on top:
fb2e69217129 ("aio: Fix compile error due to unexpected use of cmpxchg()")
0964acffc614 ("aio: revert addition of io_send_sig() in generic_write_checks")

Well, you need to negotiate that with the affected architectures.
