Yes. I need to clarify this part in next version. In v1 the binding operati=
on
was purely a software operation within IOMMU fd thus there was no
intention to differentiate device types in this step. But now with v2 the
binding actually involves calling IOMMU API for devices other than sw
mdev. Then we do need similar per-type binding wrappers as defined
for attaching calls.

>=20

We can still bind to the parent with cookie, but with iommu_register_
sw_device() IOMMU fd knows that this binding doesn't need to
establish any security context via IOMMU API.=20
