Right, I left it to follow ups as the series is already too long.

fwiw, I'm going to also add addr to IORING_OP_SEND.

Right, it should work with MSG_ZEROCOPY, but with a different notification
semantics, would need recvmsg from error queues, and with performance
implications.

There is msg_iocb, but it's mostly unused by protocols, IIRC apart
from crypto sockets. And then we'd need to repeat the path of
ubuf_info to handle stuff like skb splitting and perhaps also
changing rules for ->ki_complete

Would be even more similar to how we has always been doing
read/write, and rw requests do pass in a msg_iocb, but again,
it's largely ignored internally.
