There is an IO completion callback that is called when the read into
the buffer pool is finished. AFAIK, the callback will merge the
pending changes from the insert buffer. Oh, and the name of the insert
buffer has been changed to "change buffer" as it can buffer inserts
and deletes in MySQL 5.5. Also note that there are no updates for
secondary indexes. There is only insert and delete marking.
