Abusing an iovec (although I though of the first once when looking
into it) looks really horrible, but has two huge advantages:

 - it doesn't require passing another argument all the way down
   the I/O stack
 - it works with all the vectored interfaces that take a flag
   argument, so not just io_uring, but also preadv2/pwritev2 and aio.
   And while I don't care too much about the last I think preadv2
   and pwritev2 are valuable to support.
