Kevin,

It actually depends on the svm binding behavior we expect in host
IOMMU driver side. If we want to have the binding per-device, this
translation is needed in Qemu either in VFIO or intel_iommu emulator.
So that the host SID could be used as a device selector when looping
devices in a group.

If we can use VFIO API directly, we also may trigger the svm bind/qi
propagation straightforwardly instead of using notifier.
