Would you consider moving the variable declaration after the 'bank'
variable?

Shouldn't the function return an error if no memory banks matched the type
specified (initialize ret to -EINVAL instead of 0)? I'm thinking that if
the caller expects a certain type of memory bank to be present, but that
memory type is not present, then somehwere an error occured and the caller
should be made aware of it.
Case in point, kvm__for_each_mem_bank() is used vfio/core.c for
KVM_MEM_TYPE_RAM. If RAM hasn't been created by that point, then
VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA will not be called for guest memory and the assigned
device will not work.
Thanks,
Alex
