With that in mind would it be good to have some interaction with epoll (and similar calls)?

Instead of having a blocked futex_waitv() waiting on an fd (maybe a generic eventfd() or a new futex2fd())
would be a better interface?

Or instead introduce an IORING_OP_FUTEX2_WAITV? Then the futex_waitv logic wait
in an io-wq kernel thread...

I guess the io_uring way would mean we could have that in mind as future addition, which can be implemented
later...
