Description

Requires https://github.com/libsql/libsql/issues/3. Once the interface is ready for asynchronous I/O, the next natural step is to provide a VFS implementation based on io_uring, probably in poll mode to be in line with the existing sqlite3 semantics of returning SQLITE_BUSY if the statement is not ready to proceed just yet.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked libsql issue #3 to understand the required asynchronous I/O interface, then review SQLite VFS semantics and io_uring poll mode. Done means providing the VFS implementation so operations that are not ready return SQLITE_BUSY consistently with the stated behavior.
