Please include a changelog in future patches.  For example:

v3:
 * Don't drop revents when a handler is modified [Stefan]

That way reviewers know what to look for and which issues you have
addressed.

Thanks!  The worst case I can now imagine is if an fd is handled twice
due to a concurrent aio_set_fd_handler() call, but spurious
->io_read()/->io_write() should not cause problems.

I will wait for Paolo to review this because he is most familiar with
the lockcnt abstraction.
