Since vfio would be the only driver, there would be no duplication.  But
a separate object for the iommu mapping is a good thing.  Perhaps we can
even share it with vhost (without actually using the mmu, since vhost is
software only).
Main difference is that vhost works fine with unlocked
memory, paging it in on demand. iommu needs to unmap
memory when it is swapped out or relocated.


So you'd just take the memory map and not pin anything. This way you can reuse the memory map.

But no, it doesn't handle the dirty bitmap, so no go.
