Once the current behavior gets released stable, we're no
longer able to change the meaning of cqe.res.

As cqe.res == 0 would mean zero copy wasn't used at all,
which would be the indication for userspace to avoid using SEND_ZC.

But if 6.0 would always return cqe.res = 0, there's no chance for
userspace to have a detection strategy.

And I don't think it will cause a lot of trouble for your 6.1 stuff (assuming
you mean your SENDMSG_ZC code), I was already having that on top
of my test branches, the current one is:
https://git.samba.org/?p=metze/linux/wip.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/io_uring-6.0.0-rc5-metze.08

I plan to test SENDMSG_ZC with Samba next week.
