I'm not sure the #defines really gain us much vs just putting the
literal values in the array below?

Then someone says "uuuuu magic values" :) I do not mind either way. 
Thanks,

Yeah that's true. But #defining them doesn't make them less magic, if
you only use them in one place :)

Defining them with "QUERY_DDW" in the names kinda tells where they are 
from. Can also grep QEMU using these to see how the other side handles 
it. Dunno.

And *not* defining anything reduces the mental load a lot.  You can add
a comment at the single spot you use them, explaining what this is, in a
much better way!

Comments are *good*.
