Hi,

This is my crude version of the cleanup patch to reduce the
duplication of code.

Basically, I added __generic_file_aio_read_internal() and
__generic_file_aio_write_nolock_internal() to take a read/write
handlers instead of defaulting to do_generic_file_read() or
generic_file_buffered_write().

This way I was able to reduce 129 lines of your code.
This patch is on top of your current set and I haven't even
tried compiling it. Needs cleanup.

BTW, function & variable names are too long and/or ugly & doesn't
make sense - need fixing.

Christoph/Suparna/Andrew, Comments ?

Thanks,
Badari
