I meant to replace struct device * with just a void *, driver can
register fault callback with instance of their private data, this could
be a container struct of struct device.
e.g.
int iommu_register_device_fault_handler(struct device *dev,
				iommu_dev_fault_handler_t handler, void
				*data);

typedef int (*iommu_dev_fault_handler_t)(struct iommu_fault_event *, void *);

I see, it is in your patch i totally missed it. Make sense to me for
this separate set of flags.
