Do 'refilled tokens' (returned memory areas) get used for anything other
 than subsequent RX?  If not then surely the way to return a memory area
 in an io_uring idiom is just to post a new read sqe ('RX descriptor')
 pointing into it, rather than explicitly returning it with setsockopt.
(Being async means you can post lots of these, unlike recvmsg(), so you
 don't need any kernel management to keep the RX queue filled; it can
 just be all handled by the userland thus simplifying APIs overall.)
Or I'm misunderstanding something?
