Single core, using mq-deadline (with the poc patch, but number without
you can already find in a previous reply):

axboe at 7950x ~/g/fio (master)> cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler
none [mq-deadline] 
axboe at 7950x ~/g/fio (master)> sudo t/io_uring -p1 -d128 -b512 -s32 -c32 -F1 -B1 -R1 -X1 -n1 /dev/nvme0n1

submitter=0, tid=1957, file=/dev/nvme0n1, node=-1
polled=1, fixedbufs=1/0, register_files=1, buffered=0, QD=128
Engine=io_uring, sq_ring=128, cq_ring=128
IOPS=5.10M, BW=2.49GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=5.10M, BW=2.49GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=5.10M, BW=2.49GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31

Using non-polled IO, the number is around 4M.
