That callback is all about file dependent operations, just like ioctl.
And as the patch in question is doing socket specific stuff, I think
architecturally it fits well. I also believe Breno wants to extend it
later to support more operations.

Sockets are a large chunk of use cases, it can be implemented as a
separate io_uring request type if nothing else works, but in general
that might not be as scalable.
