Well, for a virtualization use case, I still think it's should
be registered in iommufd. Having a device without an IOPF/PRI
capability, a guest OS should receive some faults too, if that
device causes a translation failure.

And for a vSVA use case, the IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_IOPF feature only
gets enabled in the guest VM right? How could the host enable
the IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_IOPF to trigger this handler?
