I think adding an ID in the free vq stream is a more robust approach.Adding ID to the free vq would need the device to distinguish whether it receives an ID or a free page hint,Not really. It's pretty simple: a 64 bit buffer is an ID. A 4K and bigger one is a page.
I think we can also use the previous method, free page via in_buf, and id via out_buf.
Best, Wei
