Description

Would you consider adding io_uring support to the wsl1 kernel, to facilitate cross platform development for those projects (wsl2 is not an option at the moment due to subpar cross system file performance).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the WSL1 kernel's current system-call support and the requirements for io_uring. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first identify where WSL1 kernel functionality is implemented. Done would mean io_uring support works for cross-platform development without relying on WSL2.
