Subject[PATCH] Async I/O should indicate failure.
Date
Solaris and HP/UX don't allow FIOASYNC on unsupported devices.  I
assume ENOTTY is correct here; I don't have a spec.

Also, if the fasync strategy fails (eg. ENOMEM from a tty), the flag
gets set, and the user remains unaware of failure.

Rusty.
