How about having another struct with all the event's queue fields 
together ? this has the benefit of having all those related fields in 
one place and leave the cmd as is.

Alternatively,
We can inline the event stuff under devx_async_event_file and leave the 
cmd for now under a struct as it's not directly related to this series.

What do you think ?

The flags are coming from user space and have their different name 
space, I prefer to not mix with kernel ones. (i.e. is_destroyed).
Makes sense ?

OK, will handle.

Quite long but follows the name scheme having the UAPI prefix.
Any shorter suggestion ?
