I wonder if we can make some progress in Feb? If so, we can start
to wrap up the iommufd uAPI patches for HWPT, which was a part of
intel's series but never got sent since their emulated series is
seemingly still pending?

One detail for the uAPI patches is to decide how vIOMMU code will
interact with those backend APIs.. Hopefully, you and Eric should
have something in mind :)

Thanks
