I don't think there is one in production for qemu.

For something like DPDK I can imagine replacing the open logic to use
vfio device cdevs and iommufd, but keeping the rest of the logic the
same so the FD looks and feels like a VFIO container. There is little
value in replacing the VFIO map/unmap/etc ioctls with the IOMMUFD
equivalents.
