I'm writing asynchronous file I/O with the aio_* functions for asio. I'm using libaio library for this. But linux only have support for AIO for files opened with O_DIRECT flag. IMO the allocation and deallocation of aligned buffers should not be visible to users, since it would be a little awkward, but I dont see anyway to have it hidden from the user and not obligate one more copy of the entire buffer.
