These are region subtypes definition and associated capabilities.
QEMU basically gets information on VFIO regions from the kernel
driver and for those regions with a nvlink2 subtype, it tries
to extract some more nvlink2 related info.

Right. This will just be dead code in QEMU for newer kernels.
Anyway, as said in some other mail, it is probably time for QEMU to
start deprecating this code as well.
