hmm, this is the relevant code in 2.6.22:
----8<-------------->8-----
                        if (min_nr <= i)
                                break;
                        ret = 0;
                        if (to.timed_out)       /* Only check after read evt */
                                break;
                        schedule(); <-----------
                        if (signal_pending(tsk)) {
                                ret = -EINTR;
                                break;
                        }
                        /*ret = aio_read_evt(ctx, &ent);*/
----8<-------------->8-----
