That does not work for "destroyed" pools. In general, there is
no natural key for a page pool I can think of.

The IDs are not stable. Any reconfiguration of a device will create
a new page pool and therefore assign a new ID. So applications can't
hold onto the ID long term.
That said the only use case for exposing the ID right now is to
implement do/GET (since there is no other unique key). And manual debug
with drgn, but that doesn't require uAPI. So if you prefer strongly
I can drop the ID from the uAPI and do/GET support.
