A driver_type would be IOMMUFD_HW_INFO_TYPExx. What's inside the
BIT_ULL is IOMMUFD_HWPT_TYPE_*. It seems to get a bit confusing
after several rounds of renaming though. And they do seem to be
a bit of duplications at the actual values, at least for now.

I recall that we only had one enum for the types, yet later did
a separation into driver_types and hwpt_types after a discussion
regarding future PASID support?
