Basically it returns 16 bytes or single SQE or 80 for double SQE. Since we are not coping the payload anymore, this is not necessary. Now we are copying 64 bytes for the single SQE or 128 bytes for double SQE. Do you prefer I create a helper that returns the SQE size, instead of doing the left shift? Thank you!
