I think I was confused by what I saw initially in kcomedilib_main.c, I suspect these async functions are not usable in kcomedilib.  I notice they are not listed as an EXPORT_SYMBOL() argument in kcomedilib/ksyms.c so they are probably not visible to a module compiled outside the comedi tree, after reading more comedi source I suspect they are only for internal use.  Such questions are inevitable in the absence of documentation.

Having source is the final answer, but its not learning efficient as you see way too much stuff you really shouldn't be messing with and don't really need to know about until you are ready to become a comedi developer instead of user.
