This exposes the device internal to the upper layer which is not optimal.
Not sure what does it mean by "device internal", but this op callback just follows existing convention to describe what vdpa parent this API targets.

Btw, what's the difference between this and a simple

set_map(NULL)?
I don't think parent drivers support this today - they can accept non-NULL iotlb containing empty map entry, but not a NULL iotlb. The behavior is undefined or it even causes panic when a NULL iotlb is passed in. Further this doesn't work with .dma_map parent drivers.

The reason why a new op is needed or better is because it allows userspace to tell apart different reset behavior from the older kernel (via the F_IOTLB_PERSIST feature bit in patch 4), while this behavior could vary between parent drivers.
