I agree with you here. Basically it is a bug if the payload (pdu) size is
is different than 16 for single SQE or != 80 for extended SQE.

So, basically it is checking for two things:
   * the cmd offset is 48
   * the io_uring_sqe struct is 64

Since this is a uapi, I am not confidence that they will change at all.
I can replace the code with your suggestion.

It should be "offset(struct io_uring_sqe, cmd) != 48)", right?

Thanks for the review!
