Isn't hard coding 64K just as bad as hard coding 4K?  The kernel knows
what PAGE_SIZE is after all.  Is there some target number of queue
entries here that we could round up to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE?

I guess this is a matter of whether the performance benefit is worth
the hardening and I can imagine that it could be, but we do need that
hardening and well defined behavior to the user.  If we put it into a
single page then we need to define if a user write to the producer index
resets the index or if it's just a shadow of internal state and will be
restored on the next update.  Does a user write to the size register
change the size of the queue or is it ignored?  Is there an event that
will restore it?  Maybe the size should be exposed as a part of a
region info capability like we've done for some of the new nvlink
regions.

It doesn't seem enforceable to the user without slowing down the
interface, either via ioctl or non-mmap.  I think it's fine to have
acquire and release semantics, we just need to define them and have
safe, predictable behavior when the user does something wrong (and
expect them to do something wrong, intentionally or not).

Yes, it's wasteful, a shared page would be preferred, but it's also
only a page.

Not sure I understand the pain aspect, if we don't support mmap on a
region then we can fill a user read from a region just as easily as we
can fill a buffer passed via ioctl.  Thanks,
