Do you have asynchronous operations in mind for a future patch? The io_uring
command infrastructure makes more sense for operations that return EIOCBQUEUED,
otherwise it doesn't have much benefit over ioctl.

I think I'm missing something from this series. Where is the io_uring_cmd
change to point to the sqe?
