How about this:

1. One holer, multi registrants:
   enable=1
   generation=2
   notify_mask=0x0
   rtype=write_exclusive
   holder=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111,0x1111
   reg=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111,0x1111
   reg=22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222,0x2222

2. No holder, multi registrants:
   enable=1
   generation=1
   notify_mask=0x0
   rtype=none
   holder=none
   reg=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111,0x1111
   reg=22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222,0x2222

3. No registrant:
   enable=1
   generation=0
   notify_mask=0x0
   rtype=none
   holder=none

4. Reservation not enabled:
   enable=0

Otherwise, the notify_mask can be stringization:

   notify_mask=reg_preempted,resv_released,resv_preempted
