The patch in general makes sense to have, but I have a couple of
comments.

Printing the flags multi-line is much too noisy for IOMMU events. Just
print a char-shortcut for each flag set on the same line.

Why do you create string-arrays for other type-encodings but not for
this one?

pr_cont instead of printk.
