Looks pretty good, I have Shashank and his team working on the similar 
patches ever since Bas initially came up with it since we need it for 
user queues as well.

Shashank can you take a look at the UAPI? Of hand looks pretty similar 
to what we have done as well, doesn't it?

For the internal implementation in the VM I'm currently working on a bug 
fix for the KFD team, so this is subject to change anyway. Going to keep 
this requirement here in mind while doing that, whatever implementation 
we end up with we probably need to re-base it anyway.

Regards,
Christian.
