We're now in rc5 so we need to add it to for-next now or postpone for next cycle (but I don't see a reason why). I've noticed CONFIG_IO_URING is a config option, do we need some ifdef protection or are the definitions provided unconditionally. We may also need to ifdef out the ioctl code if io_uring is not built in.
