I have a question wrt the FW specification. The IOMMU consumes 1 slot in
the PCI domain and one needs to leave a RID hole in the iommu-map.  It
is not obvious to me that this RID always is predictable given the pcie
enumeration mechanism. Generally we have a coarse grain mapping of RID
onto iommu phandles/STREAMIDs. Here, if I understand correctly we need
to precisely identify the RID granted to the iommu. On QEMU this may
depend on the instantiation order of the virtio-pci device right? So
this does not look trivial to build this info. Isn't it possible to do
this exclusion at kernel level instead?

Thanks
