May work for me, but have to ask how many, and what is the
criteria? I'd think anything opening a file or manipulating fs:

IORING_OP_ACCEPT, IORING_OP_CONNECT, IORING_OP_OPENAT[2],
IORING_OP_RENAMEAT, IORING_OP_UNLINKAT, IORING_OP_SHUTDOWN,
IORING_OP_FILES_UPDATE
+ coming mkdirat and others.

IORING_OP_CLOSE? IORING_OP_SEND IORING_OP_RECV?

What about?
IORING_OP_FSYNC, IORING_OP_SYNC_FILE_RANGE,
IORING_OP_FALLOCATE, IORING_OP_STATX,
IORING_OP_FADVISE, IORING_OP_MADVISE,
IORING_OP_EPOLL_CTL


Another question, io_uring may exercise asynchronous paths,
i.e. io_issue_sqe() returns before requests completes.
Shouldn't be the case for open/etc at the moment, but was that
considered?

I don't see it happening, but would prefer to keep it open
async reimplementation in a distant future. Does audit sleep?
