OK. Basically I followed what Jason suggested by having three
APIs and combined Kevin's inputs about the difference between
the attach/replace(). I also updated the replace changes, and
rebased all nesting (infrastructure, VT-d and SMMU):
https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commits/wip/iommufd_nesting-03142023

The major three changes for those APIs:
[1] This adds iommufd_access_attach() in this series:
    "iommufd: Create access in vfio_iommufd_emulated_bind()"
    https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commit/34fba7509429380f828fb23dcca5ceaeb40e22b5
[2] This adds iommufd_access_detach() in the cdev series:
    "iommufd/device: Add iommufd_access_detach() API"
    https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commit/4110522146ca1fc0d5321c04a097e2c9d9e26af4
[3] This adds iommufd_access_replace() in the replace series:
    "iommufd: Add iommufd_access_replace() API"
    https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commit/36507fa9f0f42cf1a5bebe7c9bc2bf319b7654a8

Please check if they look okay, so that Yi can integrate them
accordingly to the emulated/cdev series.

[*] This is the patch that I posted in the other mail addressing
    Kevin's comments on iommufd_ctx_get():
    "iommufd/device: Do iommufd_ctx_get() at the top of iommufd_access_create()"
    https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commit/077b09bb83329dc046753f4ef672f5bf6386755c
    (I just saw Yi's reply concerning its necessity. Feel free
     to drop in that case.)

Thanks
Nicolin
