Well, up to a point.  We can decide how such a thing should be
constructed.  However at some point there needs to exist an IOAS in
which both windows are mapped, whether it's directly or indirectly.
That's what the device will be attached to.

I don't see how that would make sense.  The device has no awareness of
multiple windows the way it does of PASIDs.  It just sends
transactions over the bus with the IOVAs it's told.  If those IOVAs
lie within one of the windows, the IOMMU picks them up and translates
them.  If they don't, it doesn't.
