I really hate defining the interface in terms of io_uring.  This really
is nothing but an async ioctl.

I'm a little worried about exposing a complete io_uring specific
concept like IO_URING_F_COMPLETE_DEFER to random drivers.  This
needs to be better encapsulated.

As of this patch io_uring_cmd is still a private structure.  In general
I'm not sure this patch makes much sense on its own either.
