Yes, this is dmabuf specific, I was thinking you'd define your own
member of netdev_rx_queue, and then add something like this to
page_pool_init:

+       if (pool->p.queue)
+               io_uring_metadata = READ_ONCE(pool->p.queue->io_uring_metadata);
+
+       /* We don't support rx-queues that are configured for both
io_uring & dmabuf binding */
+       BUG_ON(io_uring_metadata && binding);
+
+       if (io_uring_metadata) {
+               pool->mp_ops = &io_uring_ops;
+               pool->mp_priv = io_uring_metadata;
+       }

I.e., we share the pool->mp_ops and the pool->mp_priv but we don't
really need to share the same netdev_rx_queue member. For me it's a
dma-buf specific data structure (netdev_dmabuf_binding) and for you
it's something else.

page_pool_init() probably needs to validate that the queue is
configured for dma-buf or io_uring but not both. If it's configured
for both then the user is doing something funky we shouldn't support.

Perhaps I can make the intention clearer by renaming 'binding' to
something more specific to dma-buf like queue->dmabuf_binding, to make
it clear that this is the dma-buf binding and not some other binding
like io_uring?
