So screw such read/write methods - don't use them with io_uring.
That, BTW, is one of the reasons I'm sceptical about burying the
decisions deep into the callchain - we don't _want_ different
data layouts on read/write depending upon the 32bit vs. 64bit
caller, let alone the pointer-chasing garbage that is /dev/sg.
