The changes to add VIRTIO_GPU_CAPSET_VENUS and VIRTIO_GPU_CAPSET_DRM are
already merged so this should be rebased for clean apply.

Number 7 is also occupied since 2023:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/crosvm/crosvm/+/e4c1878733937042111fca58899a3a94002bfef0%5E%21/rutabaga_gfx/src/rutabaga_utils.rs

VCL, a proposed VirtIO-GPU OpenCL driver, is also going to use that number:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/31634/diffs?commit_id=55a1a8a32057e83819b046f2de03aca333b052b4

I think you should talk with Antonio Caggiano, who picked the number for
VCL, to allocate a number without a conflict with VCL.

Gurchetan (the author of Rutabaga change allocating the number), I think
you should notify the number usage by sending a patch for Linux or
virtio-spec.
