If you want to do this then you have to also provide a way to discover
what the TSM backend is so userspace can form the correct numbers.

Also, since scope is now a uapi whatever in tsm is defining the values
must be moved to the uapi headers.

Probably this is not a good idea and iommufd should just have its own
enum with unique numbers for every bus and do the validation and
translation.
