No, that would be incorrect. It would not even compile. 
IOMETHOD_IO_URING is not even defined if we do not compile with liburing 
enabled. You can try it out yourself by compiling PostgreSQL without 
io_uring support and then try to enable it. You will get an error and 
that code will never be reached.
