This is what the kernel does, and I think that it would work for userspace as
well. I agree that a state probably isn't needed.
Currently uCM doesn't associate a data structure with the cm_id. It passes an
index directly between the application and the kernel, so adding this would
require abstracting away the cm_id, which is a fair amount of work. I don't see
any other reasonable alternative however.
