Hi!

This is neat and quite cool - but one thing that keeps nagging me is
what how much overhead does this cut from the existing setup when you use
virtio (with guests obviously)? That is from a high level view the
beaty of io_uring being passed in the guest is you don't have the
virtio ring -> io_uring processing, right?

Thanks!
