I have things running on my end on top of Jens' tree (without error
injection, that's to come).
One question, though: How am I to determine that the kernel supports
attr_ptr and IORING_RW_ATTR_FLAG_PI? Now that we no longer have separate
IORING_OP_{READ,WRITE}_META commands I can't use IO_URING_OP_SUPPORTED
to find out whether the running kernel supports PI passthrough.
