Is there somthing we can do in this error case? Any chance it gets
stuck in the loop?

It'd be nice if these lseek() could be removed and use
rec->bytes_written instead.

Doesn't it need the _sync() before the trigger? Maybe it should be
moved to record__mmap_read_evlist() or so..

If dummy aio functions are provided, the #ifdef can be removed and
just use the #else part assuming opts.nr_cblocks == 0.

Thanks,
