Thanks a lot for taking a look at it. I hope that most of the changes in 
this series and the nested page table series [1] are independent of the 
presently on-going /dev/iommu proposal, and can be separately reviewed.

Please find my comments inline below.

Sure, I will remove this flag, and rather read the PCIe cap to find out 
if PASID is required or not. After this series, I will follow up with 
the non-PCIe fault handling.

Sure, will remove pr_evt_flags field, and move all the flags to 'flags'.

Right, I will update this to 16-bits field. It won't be okay to update 
the iommu uAPI now, right?

Sure, will update this.

Thanks Jean for summarizing it here. I will update the patch.
