Two new files from the patch (linux_aio.c and linux_aio.h) should be
at a separate patch. And seems that if_em.c stuff doesn't belong to
your patch.

The kernel builds fine.

And here we get core dumpted.

Well, but your patches may be good but it's another bug (well known,
which always lead to bash core dumps).

Thanks!
