When I was first added the exit_info, I thought a bunch on whether to
add the enum. I was thinking that if we add it to the UAPI, kernel need
to parse and validate the values from RM. In the current scheme, I can
leave it to userspace to interpret the value from RM. I could be
convinced to go the other way though. Currently this is less code :) Let
me know your thoughts!

If we start interpreting the @type, then maybe we should also start
interpreting the @reason, and that will also add debt to the kernel
driver.
