I'm not extremely attached to maj:min.  It's nice in that it'd be
consistent with blkcg but it already isn't the nicest of identifiers
for block devices.  If using maj:min is reasonably straight forward
for gpus even if not perfect, I'd prefer going with maj:min.
Otherwise, please feel free to use the ID best for GPUs - hopefully
something which is easy to understand, consistent with IDs used
elsewhere and easy to build tooling around.

Thanks.
