 * mapping types etc.
 *
 * Note that to extend struct drm_i915_memory_region_info and struct
 * drm_i915_query_memory_regions in the future the plan is to do the following:
 *
 * .. code-block:: C
 *
 *	struct drm_i915_memory_region_info {

 *			struct {
 *				__u64 new_thing2;
 *				__u64 new_thing3;
 *				...
 *			};
 *		};
 *	};
 *
 * With this things should remain source compatible between versions for
 * userspace, even as we add new fields.
 *
 * Note this is using both struct drm_i915_query_item and struct drm_i915_query.
 * For this new query we are adding the new query id DRM_I915_QUERY_MEMORY_REGIONS
 * at &drm_i915_query_item.query_id.
