In that case, why do have need an invalidation tag/type on its
own? Can't we use an IOMMU_HWPT_TYPE_VIRTIO tag for allocation
and invalidation together for virtio?

Or did you mean that we should define a flag inside the data
structure like this?

struct iommu_hwpt_invalidate_arm_smmuv3 {
#define IOMMU_SMMUV3_CMDQ_TLBI_VA_LEAF  (1 << 0)
#define IOMMU_SMMUV3_FORMAT_VIRTIO	(1 << 63)
	__u64 flags;
}

Thanks
