Weird! How could it be missed during copy-n-paste..
I recalled that I had it but seemingly lost it after an update.

It is in the commit message of the cover-letter though:
https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commit/5e17d270bfca2a5e3e7401d4bf58ae53eb7a8a55
--------------------------------------------------------
Changelog
v2:
 * Integrated the uAPI into VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD call
 * Renamed the previous set_rid_user to set_dev_data, to decouple from
   the PCI regime.
v1:
 https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1680762112.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com/

Yea. Jason told me to decouple it from PCI. And merge it into
a general uAPI. So I picked the BIND ioctl.

Thanks
