IMHO it seems to compose poorly if you can only use the io_uring

By this, do you mean io_uring must be exclusively used to use this
feature?

And you'd rather see the two decoupled, so userspace can register w/ say
dmabuf then pass it to io_uring?

Personally, I have no clue what Jason means. You can just as
well say that it's poorly composable that write(2) to a disk
cannot post a completion into a XDP ring, or a netlink socket,
or io_uring's main completion queue, or name any other API.

The devmem TCP callback can implement it in a way feasible to
the project, but it cannot directly post events to an unrelated
API like io_uring. And devmem attaches buffers to a socket,
for which a ring for returning buffers might even be a nuisance.
