Yes

Right, this needs fixing up. The vmid must come from the viommu and
the same s2 domain shared by viommus needs different vmids.

I have been planning to remove the vmid and asid values from the
domains, along with the instance pointers.

When the domain is attached in some way the vmid and instance will be
recorded in a list.

A viommu attach will use the vmid from the viommu, a normal attach
will allocate a vmid for each instance.

This will also allow S2's to be shared across instances which is
another issue we have (10 copies of the S2 on big server HW is
wasteful)

It is simple enough to explain, but I think the datastructure will be
a bit tricky to keep invalidations efficient.

I haven't even started typing it in yet. But it is the next step in
this project. The vcmdq has the same issue with vmid assignment as you
are facing.
