I would love to have this discussion; that's something which has been on
my personal to-do list for a long time, and io_uring might finally be a
solution to it.
Or, alternatively, looking at CDL for NVMe; that would be an alternative
approach.
Maybe it's even worthwhile to schedule a separate meeting for it.
