Adding read_exact and write_all OPs?

Greetings!

In application code it's quite common to write/read a whole buffer and only then continue task execution. The traditional approach is to wrap read/write sycall/OP in loop, which is often done as part of a language std. In synchronous context it makes sense because it allows to process things like EINTR. But in asynchronous (event-driven) context I think it makes a bit less sense.

What do you think about potential addition of OPs like read_exact and write_all, i.e. OPs which on successful CQE guarantee that an input buffer was processed completely? They would allow to simplify user code and in some cases to significantly reduce ring traffic.

Best regards,
