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,
