I'm not sure why this is needed, the structure that mmaped to
userspace should belong to uAPI then userspace can do versions there?

Userspace knows how many vq at most, why is this still needed?

This commnet needs tweaking as I don't think "++" is good English. And
you need to explain why we need this.

It's the version of uAPI not the userspace APP. And in order to be
able for a correct bootstrap, this needs to be the first field instead
of the second.

I wonder if we need just more than this, for example the number of
active queues, or this is what does @nr_vrings mean?

Do we need the last_used_idx and last_used_wrap_counter? If not,
please document why.

Did you mean "sanity check"?
