just small C programs that use multi pthread aio_write, will be pasted soon,

this aio-dio-regress.git seems to use linux native aio system-call
interface(shipped with libaio) only? but the POSIX aio (shipped with
librt) implemented with pthread and pwrite system-call tests can also
be added, the librt is the most cases when refered to aio.

However, the test code will come soon.
