You wouldn't be porting the aio implementation to newlib, just moving the
.h file.

The implementation is very RTEMS specific and there is no reason to move it
since it can't be shared.

If our aio.h is portable enough to apply to other environments, then it can
go in the main include directory of newlib.

If not, then it goes under an RTEMS specific directory.

Do you think it is portable or RTEMS specific in its contents?

And before it is moved, we may want to make a sweep to update the D7 page
numbers. That is like a 1993 paper draft of POSIX. :)
