The guest makes a hypercall with a device handle -- at least that's how
we do it in Topaz.

Yes, the same mechanism can be used for that -- though in that case
we'll also want the ability for the guest to be able to control another
layer of mapping (which will get quite tricky with PAMU's limitations).
This isn't really VFIO's concern, though (unless you're talking about
the VFIO implementation in the guest).
