Final version we copy the headers form the kernel. Conflicts remind us
when we forget.

Because no one has written that yet.

It's very, very different from that one.

I'm used to being inside the kernel where it's expected to be correct.

Sure. The idea is that O_NONBLOCK is supported, otherwise we don't
have fast and precise feedback.

I've explained somewhere why it is not 2*prev... And there's a small
amount of imprecision (+-1 request). In test_resize is the comment:

        /*
         * The ringsize directly affects the number of batches we can have
         * inflight -- when we run out of room in the ring, the client is
         * blocked (or if O_NONBLOCK is specified, -EWOULDBLOCK is reported).
         * The kernel throttles the client when they enter the last 4KiB page,
         * so as we double the size of the ring, we nearly double the number
         * of requests we can fit as 2^n-1: i.e 0, 1, 3, 7, 15, 31 pages.
         */
