Normally MSG_RING requires both a source and a destination ring. But some users don't always have a ring avilable to send a message from, yet they still need to notify a target ring. Add support for using io_uring_register(2) without having a source ring, using a file descriptor of -1 for that. Internally those are called blind registration opcodes. Implement IORING_REGISTER_SEND_MSG_RING as a blind opcode, which simply takes an sqe that the application can put on the stack and use the normal liburing helpers to initialize it. Then the app can call: io_uring_register(-1, IORING_REGISTER_SEND_MSG_RING, &sqe, 1); and get the same behavior in terms of the target, where a CQE is posted with the details given in the sqe. For now this takes a single sqe pointer argument, and hence arg must be set to that, and nr_args must be 1. Could easily be extended to take an array of sqes, but for now let's keep it simple.

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 reStructuredText 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.
