Mesa is a bit preoccupied disentangling a circular dependency on their end
before this uAPI can be applied for them, so they won't be commenting on
this for a while.  However, there was a Compute UMD request that's currently
being workshopped.  If Mesa needs any additional information beyond what
Compute is requesting, there should be enough reserved space to add the
missing data fields.

I'd point to the Compute UMD request prototype, but it was sent to me
directly as a private email.  Though I can say that the prototype is currently
an addition to the xe_compute.c set of IGT tests... which is probably not
sufficient for a uAPI request, admittedly.
