I think the current plan is to use posix_advise() to allow parallel I/O, rather than async I/O becuase posix_advise() will require fewer code changes.
These are not necessarily mutually exclusive designs. fadvise works fine on Linux, but as far as I know only async I/O works on Solaris. Linux also has an async I/O library, and it's not clear to me yet whether that might work even better than the fadvise approach.
