I still don't get the need for this. It would make sense to encode
different types of faults, like page-faults or interrupt-faults. That is
what I read from the name of the enum.
When I read the comment above it sounds more like you want to encode
different error-levels, like recoverable and unrecoverable error.
The exact meaning of these values need to be clarified.

Please place 'event' before iova when you keep it, and not at the end.
Then you have 'where' and 'what' of the fault first before the details
(iova, flags).
