I presume for Intel/arch specific part, the opaque data can simply be
the descriptor itself. i.e. struct qi_desc. There is no need to
generalize since it has already been validated to be architecture
specific data.

Arch specific IOMMU driver can take further action on the opaque data,
e.g. replace guest DID with host DID based on other info passed down
from the caller.
