v11_gfx_mqd has these fields reserved. Updating the definition with the 
fields you need should not be a problem. v11_gfx_mqd is already used in 
gfx_v11_0.c.

The firmware shouldn't care much whether a queue is a kernel mode queue 
or a user mode queue. The MQD layout should be the same. So having two 
different structure definitions in two different places doesn't make 
sense. I don't think it's wise to leave this for cleanup later. That 
would only cause churn and ultimately more work than doing the right 
thing in the first place.
