How about default to Linux id space and allow overriding that with
a module param option if needed?

I'm not sure I'm following.

If the main point of contention is the base_id field, I'm also fine
with removing it entirely, as I'm not aware of any actual user for it
(Suman please confirm?).

Yeah, well the current implementations that I am aware of only have a
single bank, so all of them would be using a value of 0. I am yet to see
a platform with multiple instances where the property really makes a
difference. v7 has the property mandatory, so all the implementations
would need to define this value even if it is 0.

Mark? Rob? Will you accept Suman's patches if the base_id field is removed?

Thanks,
Ohad.
