Sorry, yes, this is a bit weird. I'll change this to use the next
available entry rather than leave a gap.

Honestly the 32-bit fields as-is are somewhat comically large. I don't
think extending the __u32 -> __u64 is preferred because I don't see us
needing that much, so maybe I can add another 32-bit padding field.
Does this look good to you?

struct dmabuf_cmsg {
  __u64 frag_offset;
  __u32 frag_size;
  __u32 frag_token;
  __u32 dmabuf_id;
  __u32 ext; /* reserved for future flags */
};

Another option is to actually compress frag_token & dmabuf_id to be
32-bit combined size if that addresses your concern. I prefer that
less in case they end up being too small for future use cases.
