Nope. They are async, but without a notification. Only notification is
on error. This is also true for write().

The API is designed this way to simplify the upper layers. The swapout
of a object is completely async where the only notification is on
completeteion.

swapin of a object is also async, where the notifications are when data
have arrived.

It is currently the FS responsibility to buffer writes as required, and
block reads until the file is opened.

I don't see the need.
