aio_* functions are library routines in glibc that are implemented by
spawning threads to use the normal kernel io syscalls. They don't use
real async IO in the kernel. I'm not sure why you didn't see the
thread, but if you look up the glibc sources you will see how it works.
To use the kernel aio you make calls to io_submit().

Well, I've written a small test app to see if it works with network
sockets and apparently it did for that small test case (connect()
with aio_read(), loop with aio_error(), and aio_return()). I thought
perhaps the glibc implementation was running behind the scene, so I've
checked to see if it a thread was created in the background and I
there wasn't any thread.
