Hmm, that really is arbitrary. How could we know a real value here?

This would break existing users, we can't arbitrarily change the offset
of iova_pgsizes. We can add cap_offset to the end and I think
everything would work about above if we do that.

Do bools have a guaranteed user size? Let's make this a __u32 and call
it flags with bit 0 defined as reserved. I'm tempted to suggest we
could figure out how to make alignment fit in another __u32 so we have a
properly packed structure, otherwise we should make a reserved __u32.
