Methods sometimes need to get one attribute out of a group of pre-defined attributes. This is an enum-like behavior. Since this is a common requirement, we add a new ENUM attribute to the generic uverbs ioctl() layer. This attribute is embedded in methods, like any other attributes we currently have. ENUM attributes point to an array of standard UVERBS_ATTR_PTR_IN. The user-space encodes the enum's attribute id in the id field and the internal PTR_IN attr id in the enum_data.elem_id field. This ENUM attribute could be shared by several attributes and it can get UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MANDATORY flag, stating this attribute must be supported by the kernel, like any other attribute.
