Yeah, either your usage is fine or the syntax-check rule should be
improve to catch it. Jirka?

This looks fine.

Perhaps a bit more useful:

  virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
                 _("IORT table node type %1$s has invalid length: got
%2$u, expected at least %3$lu"),
                 NULLSTR(typeStr), (unsigned int)nodeHeader->len,
sizeof(*nodeHeader));

You didn't answer this one :)

It's fine to keep them, I'm not too concerned about the memory usage,
I was just wondering how much we should push towards minimalism ;)

What about renaming @reference_id to @mappings_offset though, to
match the corresponding fields for nodes in virIORTHeader?
