one thing that I believe we are missing on these ioclt examples is how
to bridge them and be more explicit that the exec_queue id here came
as output of the exec_queue_create.

As well as the 'vm' items used on the above cases. But anyway, I believe
that that could be done later and this is already an improvement in the
doc. Ideally uapi docs should have examples and be self-sufficient to
any new UMD developer working with these entries. So, this series
is already a big step towards that, so:
