Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the DirectStorage queue and file APIs described in the issue, then determine how runtime capabilities and telemetry should expose the storage path and support level; done means callers can query these distinctions after creation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

When deploying apps and getting telemetry, it's critical to be able to "query the caps" of the DirectStorage queue and file once created. Are the telemetry numbers from a fast path of NVMe PCIe 4.0 to vidmem, or is this NVMe to sysmem to vidmem? Or is this even an hdd with DirectStorage as a compat layer? There's no way to tell in the current API.
