I don't think this works since we have lazy pasid free.  for example,
after all the devices did sva_unbind, mm->pasid  we'll remain valid until
mmdrop(). LAM  should be supported in this case.

Perhaps, we could introduce another prctl flag for SVA, PR_GET_SVA?
Both iommu driver and LAM can set/query the flag. LAM applications may not
be the only ones want to know if share virtual addressing is  on.
