Ah, okay. I can see the following directory path:

# ls -l  /sys/devices/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 0 Jan 13 20:36 amd_iommu_0

# ls -l /sys/bus/event_source/devices/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 13 20:33 amd_iommu_0 -> ../../../devices/amd_iommu_0

I'll update the commit log to mention /bus/event_source/devices/amd_iommu_X instead.

Thanks,
