What is in a Nested domain:
  Intel: A single IO page table refereed to by a PASID entry
         Each vDomain-ID,PASID allocates a unique nesting domain
  AMD: A GCR3 table pointer
       Nesting domains are created for every unique GCR3 pointer.
       vDomain-ID can possibly refer to multiple Nesting domains :(
  ARM: A CD table pointer
       Nesting domains are created for every unique CD table top pointer.

this AMD/ARM difference is not very clear to me.

How could a vDomain-ID refer to multiple GCR3 pointers? Wouldn't it
lead to cache tag conflict when a same PASID entry in multiple GCR3 tables
points to different I/O page tables?

Perhaps due to only one DomainID in the DTE table indexed by BDF? Actually,
the vDomainID will not be used to tag cache, the host DomainId would be
used instead. @Jason?
