My understanding is that iommu_fault_param is for all kinds of iommu
faults. Currently they probably include recoverable IO page faults or
unrecoverable DMA faults.

While, iopf_device_param is for the recoverable IO page faults. I agree
that this naming is not specific and even confusing. Perhaps renaming it
to something like iommu_iopf_param?
