This ain't correct. It should have been something like 
virtio_crypto_destroy_session_input.

This is the device writable portion and thus what we cal op_outcome above.
So it should have been
};


struct virtio_crypto_destroy_session_input {

If we aren't consistent about it the dividing into parts (like op specific
fixed and variable length (output) fields, operation outcome (input))
isn't really helpful.
