So I'm once again not following. FUTEX_WAITV is to wait on multiple
futexes and get a notification when any one of them wakes up with an
index to indicate which one.

How exactly is that different from multiple FUTEX_WAIT entries in the
io_uring thing itself? Admittedly I don't actually know much of anything
when it comes to io_uring, but isn't the idea that queue multiple
'syscall' like things and get individual completions back?

So how does WAITV make sense here?
