Well there is the fundamental problem that you can't use io_uring to
implement the semantics necessary for a dma_fence.
That's why we had to reject the io_uring work on DMA-buf sharing from
Google a few years ago.
But this only affects the dma_fence synchronization part of DMA-buf, but
*not* the general buffer sharing.
