Unfortunate. But on the one hand, nothing technically prevents defining

Right, and we are not in any competition for most obfuscated interface yet (though we'd probably get an honourable mention if we were to apply).

However, I guess kvm_pit_state2 will also need some flags field and a
bit tail room for potential future extensions.

Yes, it's a common pattern in kvm.
