Looks much better, thanks for taking the feedback. Some additional
feedback inlined:

The above construct is not forward compatible. If we want to add
more attributes in the future any older kernel will break with
EINVAL. We typically support partial requests in older kernels.

I would just make this a u32 for now.

I would return EOPNOTSUPP here

Attribute type '0' is reserved, please don't use it. Start with '1'.

Same here, attribute type '0' is reserved.
