I was at two minds with the Fixes tag.

The commit you referenced above is still a fix (or workaround), this patch is a
better fix that superseeds as opposed to fixing a bug that commit f38044e5ef58
introduced. So perhaps the right one ought to be:

Fixes: 58ccf0190d19 ("vfio: Add an IOVA bitmap support")
