It seems that sq_entries, cq_entries are not limited at all.  Can nasty
app consume a lot of kernel pages calling io_setup_uring() from a loop
passing random entries number? (or even better: decreasing entries 
number,
in order to consume all pages orders with min number of loops).
Yes, that's an oversight, we should have a limit in place. I'll add that.
