1. For (b), would it be OK to implement a very minimal version of

queue_[stop|start]/queue_mem_[alloc|free], which I use for the sole purpose of reposting buffers to an individual queue, and then later whoever picks up your queue API effort (maybe me) extends the implementation to do the rest of the things you described in your email? If not, what is the minimal queue API I can implement and use for devmem TCP?

Any form of queue API is better than a temporary ndo. IIUC it will not bubble up into uAPI in any way so we can extend/change it later as needed.

2. Since this is adding ndo, do I need to implement the ndo for 2

drivers or is GVE sufficient?

One driver is fine, especially if we're doing this instead of the reset hack.
