Hi,
While I'm writing the next version of this proposal, I came up with
some changes on the protocol. Let me share my ideas in advance. I'd
like to hear your idea if you have another thought.

I wonder why we need this "tag" field. I have kept this field from
Dmitry's first proposal, where this was called "char debug_name[64]".
However, on second thought, I have no idea what is the necessity to
have this field. Our VMM implementation in ChromeOS simply ignores
this field.
If OpenSynergy's implementation relies on this field, I'm curious
about the usage. We might want to have an enum value instead of this
field where arbitrary values can be stored.

I'm wondering if we can't generate stream_id in the host side so that
we will have less error control code. In the current design, both the
device and the driver have error checks; the device must check that a
given ID is available and the driver must check if the device didn't
return the INVALID_STREAM_ID error. Instead, by generating IDs in the
device, we will be free from this type of failure. Same for
resource_id in RESOURCE_CREATE.
I guess this design originally came from the virtio-gpu protocol.
However, I couldn't find a benefit of adopting the same design here.
Any feedback is welcome.
