I agree, we could let vendor driver do the allocation inside this op. On
the other side, we could also keep the flexibility such that this op can be
used for guest PASID bind, with a SVA domain.

yes, that is the intention. I plan to lift the requirement in patch 5 such
that device attachment will not be a prerequisite. That would be after mdev
adoption.

Right, at the moment it is still a single address space. i.e. the current
domain of the device/group.

But this limitation is at the driver facing API layer not limited in the
IOMMU ops.
