Exclusive userspace access is recipie for failure. This must go and you must
come up with better model. Which in my mind involve an ioctl for each command
buffer submission.

pagram pack must be remove do not use that.

The queue_percentage and queue_priority really needs some explanations. I guess
userspace would shed some light on those but still this should be properly explain.

Same what is aperture in this context. I know about all this stuff but i have no
idea what aperture is in this context.

Again comment about what kind of counter this is, monotonic, ...

I would rather see userspace provide a pointer to an array and the size of that
array and possibly size of individual element. This would allow you to grow the
kfd_process_device_apertures if needs be. Thought as i understand it this is a
temporary driver.

As said above no ioctl to have some exclusive access you can not trust userspace
that's rules NUMBER ONE.

No pragma packing.
