This comment is slightly misleading (at least, it misled *me* :))
because it hints that PASID might be specific to SR-IOV.  But I don't
think that's true, so if you keep a comment like this, please reword
it along the lines of "for SR-IOV devices, the PF's PASID is shared
between the PF and all VFs" so it leaves open the possibility of
non-SR-IOV devices using PASID as well.
