Sounds good. I need some confirmation on whether migration is a must have
for VMs allocated IOASIDs.
Our primary goal is to limit the amount of IOASIDs that VMs can allocate.
If a VM is migrated to a different cgroup, I think we need to
charge/uncharge the destination/source cgroup in order enforce the limit. I
am not an expert here, any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes, please. I got your v3 already, so just future patches.
