Yea, I figured that it would work too, so let's add one in the
VIOMMU series (if we eventually decide to reuse the same ioctl).

Ack.

Maybe something like this?

struct iommu_viommu_event_arm_smmuv3 {
	u64 evt[4];
};

struct iommu_viommu_event_tegra241_cmdqv {
	u64 vcmdq_err_map[2];
};

enum iommu_event_type {
	IOMMM_HWPT_EVENT_TYPE_IOPF,
	IOMMU_VIOMMU_EVENT_TYPE_SMMUv3,
	IOMMU_VIOMMU_EVENT_TYPE_TEGRA241_CMDQV,
};

struct iommu_event_alloc {
	__u32 size;
	__u32 flags;
	__u32 out_event_id;
	__u32 out_event_fd;
	__u32 type;
	__u32 _reserved;
};

It can be "report" if you prefer.
