Why only when create->size is > 0 ?

Shouldn't cache management be handled at submit/qbuf time instead of being a 
buffer property ?

You need reserved fields here.

Just throwing an idea in here, what about using the same structure for both 
ioctls ? Or even a single ioctl for both create and destroy, like we do with 
REQBUFS ?
