For uses cases that don't already naturally have an iovec, it's easier (or more convenient) to just use a buffer address + length. This is particular true if the use case is from languages that want to create a memory safe abstraction on top of io_uring, and where introducing the need for the iovec may impose an ownership issue. For those cases, they currently need an indirection buffer, which means allocating data just for this purpose. Add basic read/write that don't require the iovec.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
