Maybe it would be better to not use '&' here. Because these flags
are not defined as bits which can be ORed or ANDed. Instead, they
are defined as values:

0x0  enable
0x1  disable
0x2  desc
0x3  reserved

Based on the below definitions in spec, wrap counter is
the most significant bit.

struct pvirtq_event_suppress {
	le16 {
		desc_event_off : 15; /* Descriptor Ring Change Event Offset */
		desc_event_wrap : 1; /* Descriptor Ring Change Event Wrap Counter */
	} desc; /* If desc_event_flags set to RING_EVENT_FLAGS_DESC */
	le16 {
		desc_event_flags : 2, /* Descriptor Ring Change Event Flags */
		reserved : 14; /* Reserved, set to 0 */
	} flags;
};

Do you think it'd be better to name the desc type as
struct vring_packed_desc? And it will be consistent
with other names, like:

struct vring_packed;
struct vring_packed_desc_event;

Do you think it'd be better to remove the prefix (desc_event_) for
the fields. And it will be consistent with other definitions, e.g.:

struct vring_packed_desc {
        /* Buffer Address. */
        __virtio64 addr;
        /* Buffer Length. */
        __virtio32 len;
        /* Buffer ID. */
        __virtio16 id;
        /* The flags depending on descriptor type. */
        __virtio16 flags;
};
