f the kiocb structure to make sync kiocb setup faster.  By
setting the elements sequentially, the write combining buffers on the CPU
are able to combine the writes into a single burst, which results in fewer
cache cycles being consumed, freeing them up for other code.  This results
in a 10-20KB/s[*] increase on the bw_unix part of LMbench on my test
system.

* The improvement varies based on what other patches are in the system,
  as there are a number of bottlenecks, so this number is not absolutely
  accurate.
