>Description:
siginfo(2) explains SI_ASYNCIO as:

https://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?siginfo++NetBSD-current

SI_ASYNCIO  The signal was generated by completion of an asynchronous I/O
            operation.  The siginfo structure contains the following
            additional members:

                  int si_fd;
                  long si_band;
<snip>

However, only si_value is used for SI_ASYNCIO. There's 3 files in
kernel that use SI_ASYNCIO: kern/sys_aio.c and
compat/linux{,32}/common/linux{,32}_signal.c. Everyone fills only
si_value member. For userland, kdump(1) recognizes SI_ASYNCIO, and
it retrieves only si_value also.
>How-To-Repeat:
Code reading.
>Fix:
Please update siginfo(2) with description of si_value member.
