This is interesting.
I developed this event with an easier integration in v17.05 in mind.
It needs a proper generic implementation however (as suggested in [1]).

I tried to have this discussion earlier[2], but without much interest.

However, even with a bus-level event framework, we still need a way for drivers
to advertize their support for specific events, and we still need to
differentiate devices that are ready for specific events from those that
do not.

So I agree that it would be interesting to have a generic rte_device
level interrupt framework to support generic events accross the whole
board, but I'm not sure it would make the dichotomy between the *driver
support* flag and the *device enabled* flag disappear.
