I wonder if this wouldn't be an inconvenience for the userspace. Would
there be anything wrong with allowing ranges with holes?
(Agreed about the DEQUEUED part of course.)

Hmm, do we care about index if count is zero?

I guess related to the earlier comment, but why do we care about start
being zero?

Should we also have

memset_after(delete, 0, type);

here similar to how other ioctl handlers clear the reserved fields?

Do we also need to add support for the new ioctl in there?
