Answering the github thread -- it's indeed a simple change, I had it the
same day you posted the issue. See below it's a bit cleaner. However, I
want to first review "io_uring: buffer registration enhancements", and
if it's good, for easier merging/etc I'd rather prefer to let it go
first (even if partially).
