I think we need to present these capabilities at boot time, long before the guest triggers a bind(). For example if the host SMMU doesn't support 16-bit ASID, we need to communicate that to the guest using vSMMU ID registers or PROBE properties. Otherwise a bind() will succeed, but if the guest uses 16-bit ASIDs in its CD, DMA will result in C_BAD_CD events which we'll inject into the guest, for no apparent reason from their perspective. In addition some VMMs may have fallbacks if shared page tables are not available. They could fall back to a MAP/UNMAP interface, or simply not present a vIOMMU to the guest.
