No, it is not specific. ntdll read / write can aleady return either 
_PENDING or _SUCCESS for special files, depending on whether the 
operation is actually performed asynchronously. But regular file 
operations are currently never queued asynchronously in Wine. In the 
bugs I am aware of the application expects _PENDING just for regular 
files. I suppose it is not something to be unified across different file 
handle types. If you agree with that it is probably much easier to deal 
with regular files without relation to other cases.

I think I can grep for read / write file calls and check cases which 
seem suspicious in this regard. The amount of read / write calls must be 
huge but hopefully there are limited number of places where _OVERLAPPED 
is used explicitly or read / write on app provided handle is used.
