please make perf_mmap__aio_alloc return the pointer,
I dont see a need for **data arg

also perf_mmap__ preffix indicates it's function over
'struct perf_mmap', which should be the first arg..
not sure, but perhaps that could make the code also
simpler, like:

static int perf_mmap__aio_alloc(struct perf_mmap *, int index);
static int perf_mmap__aio_bind(struct perf_mmap *, int index, int affinity);
static void perf_mmap__aio_free(struct perf_mmap *, int index);
