I am wondering whether we need to have dev_id, i.e. IOMMUFD,
in play with the link of pSID<->vSID, as I am thinking of a
simplified approach by passing the vSID via the hwpt alloc
structure when we allocate an S2 domain.

The arm_smmu_domain_alloc_user() takes this vSID and a dev
pointer, so it can easily tie the vSID to the dev's pSID.

By doing so, we wouldn't need a new ioctl anymore.

Thanks
