Shouldn't the type1 backend report this? It doesn't make much sense
that the spapr backend reports a version for something it doesn't
support. Better yet, provide this info gratuitously in the
VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO ioctl return like you do with nesting in the next
patch, then it can help the user figure out if this support is present.
Thanks,
