Right

Yes - any ring setup will return an id in the io_uring_params, attaching
to an existing one is done by setting the flag and putting the id number
you want to attach to in there.

Trying to avoid something that is too tied to the internals, but workqueue
(or wq) is probably generic enough that it can be used.
IORING_SETUP_ATTACH_WQ?
