> I'm not hip to how much new stuff is backport-able, so this may preclude Ubuntu 20.04, for instance. You lose the "LTS" part if you compile your own kernel, if you manage to make it functional at all.
I'm not sure that concern is justified. It seems io_uring was pushed as part of the 5.1 linux kernel release, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS seems to have been shipped with 5.4.

Also, a quick Google search pointed to io_uring patches for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
