That doesn't make a terribly lot of sense tbh. I fear it's one of these
slight confusions which will take tons of patches to clean up. Why exactly
do we need the ring->ctx pointer?

If we only need this for lrc I want to name it accordingly, to make sure
legacy code doesn't grow stupid ideas. And also we should only initialize
this in the lrc ctx init then.

All patches up to this one merged.
