I wonder if I sent the Linux ioprio patch to the mailing list for 
comments. It seems that I didn't :(
Here it is.

The current implementation uses "@@define ioclass <class>" to select 
linux io priority class and ioprio to select the numerical value.
No ioprio_set call is done only if ioclass||ioprio is defined. Default 
values are IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE and 0.

eg. "@@define ioclass 3" "@@define ioprio 42". ioclass can be defined 
either a number or "realtime","be","best-effort","idle".
Yes. be and best-effort are the same.

Feel free to comment.

ps. You could try to configure aide --without-mmap. Just because it have 
had the tendency to cause problems I think you are having.
