I think having this at open time is a bit unnatural. Since when a process
does fork, we do not inherit the PASID. Although it inherits the fd
but cannot use the mmaped address in the child.

If you move this to the mmap time, its more natural. The child could
do a mmap() get a new PASID + mmio space to work with the hardware.

Thanks for the suggestion.
We will consider fork in the next step, may need some time.

Thanks
