As I am doing some works on the SVA patch set. I just consider why the
user space need this pasid.
Maybe, is it much more reasonable to set the pasid into all devices
under the vfio container by
a call back function from 'vfio_devices' while
'VFIO_IOMMU_BIND_PROCESS' CMD is executed
in kernel land? I am not sure because there exists no suitable call back
in 'vfio_device' at present.
Thanks,
Zaibo
