Well, poot, I was planning on using that.  OK, how about this:

+#define IOCB_NO_CMPL		(15 << 28)

 struct kiocb {
[...]
-	void (*ki_complete)(struct kiocb *iocb, long ret, long ret2);
+	loff_t __user *ki_uposp;
-	int			ki_flags;
+	unsigned int		ki_flags;

+typedef void ki_cmpl(struct kiocb *, long ret, long ret2);
+static ki_cmpl * const ki_cmpls[15];

+void ki_complete(struct kiocb *iocb, long ret, long ret2)
+{
+	unsigned int id = iocb->ki_flags >> 28;
+
+	if (id < 15)
+		ki_cmpls[id](iocb, ret, ret2);
+}

+int kiocb_cmpl_register(void (*cb)(struct kiocb *, long, long))
+{
+	for (i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
+		if (ki_cmpls[id])
+			continue;
+		ki_cmpls[id] = cb;
+		return id;
+	}
+	WARN();
+	return -1;
+}

... etc, also need an unregister.
