Just a reminder, that once we choose a return value, there the
queue_id, then it basically becomes UAPI, and we cannot change it.

Can we somehow use BTF to allow us to extend this later?



I was also going to point out that, you cannot return a direct pointer
to queue_id, as BPF-prog side can modify this... but Daniel already
pointed this out.
