I started doing the merge resolution, and then I noted that there is
no sign that this has been discussed with the io_uring developers at
all.

Maybe there have been extensive discussions. I wouldn't know. There's
no acks, no links, no nothing in the commit messages.

So I ended up deciding not to pull at all after all.

You really can't just decide "let's add random audit hooks to this"
without talking to the maintainers.

And if you _did_ talk to maintainers, and got the go-ahead, why is
there absolutely zero sign of that in the commits?
