u8 is a waste of space, since attrs are rounded up to 4B
and we don't use "idx"

How about we use a subset of queue attrs?

	name: queue-id
	subset-of: queue
	attributes:
	  -
	    name: id
	  -
	    name: type

The naming is a bit too command specific, how about pp-buf ?
Or just dmabuf ?

We need some form of introspection. Can we add both in the queue dump
and page pool dump some info (dmabuf-id?) to indicate there is a DMABUF
bound to the queue / page pool?

The ops end up getting rendered as an enum, so the ordering matters.
You can't insert in the middle without breaking uAPI.
For attribute sets (which you also added before qstat) it technically
doesn't matter but would be good to have them in order to match ops.

This does look kinda repetitive, maybe let's drop the dmabuf from attr
names?
