/// Create an asynchronous I/O context.
///
/// Create an `aio_context` capable of receiving at least `nr_events`.
/// `ctx_id` must not point to an `aio_context` that already exists, and
/// must be initialized to 0 prior to the call.
///
/// On successful creation of the `aio_context`, `ctx_id` is filled in with
/// the resulting handle.
///
/// # Errors
///
/// - May fail with `-EINVAL` if `*ctx_id` is not initialized,
///   if the specified `nr_events` exceeds internal limits.
/// - May fail with `-EAGAIN` if the specified `nr_events` exceeds the user's limit
///   of available events.
/// - May fail with `-ENOMEM` if insufficient kernel resources are available.
/// - May fail with `-EFAULT` if an invalid pointer is passed for `ctx_id`.
/// - Will fail with `-ENOSYS` if not implemented.
///
