got it. let me apply your suggestion. thanks. :-)

nice catch. do you think it would be better to adding a union and
put the struct iommu_nesting_info_vtd in it?

this was talked one time between Jacob and me. It was put in this
series as the major user of nesting_info is in this series. e.g.
vfio checks the SYSWIDE_PASID. but I'm open to merge it with Jacob's
series if it would make the merge easier.
