Hi,

This series builds to adding support for a different way of doing
provided buffers. The interesting bits here are patch 3, which also has
some performance numbers an an explanation of it.

Patch 1 adds NOP support for provided buffers, just so that we can
benchmark the last change.

Patch 2 just abstracts out the pinning code.

Patch 3 finally adds the feature.

This passes the full liburing suite, and various test cases I adopted
to use ring provided buffers.

v5: - Minor cleanups
- Rebase on current branch with prep patches folded in

Can also be found in my git repo, for-5.19/io_uring-pbuf branch:
