Is that not the purpose of [aio_fsync](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696899/functions/aio...)?

Disclaimer: I've never used it, I just filed it in the back of my mind for if I wanted to do basically what you just described.

Doesn't exist on Linux as a kernel interface, although the API is there; if it works it is either a thread doing fsync or its synchronous.
