According to the standards, lio_listio should return EIO with invalid 
opcodes.

Yes, the service thread does check it and sets EINVAL for the iocb, not 
for lio_listio(). But, the lio_listio() would succeed, without returning 
an error. It should have returned EIO, if it has some requests with 
invalid opcode ( or opcodes other than LIO_{READ,WRITE,NOP}.
