Sorry that I don't fully understand the proposal here.

We need to get the attach handle at least in below cases:

1. In the iommu_sva_bind_device() path so that the existing bind could
    be reused.

2. In the iommu_report_device_fault() path so that the context-specific
    data could be used in the fault handler.

The problem is that the context code (SVA, IOMMUFD, etc.) needs to make
sure that the attach handle is really what it has installed during
domain attachment. The context code needs some mechanism to include some
kind of "owner cookie" in the attach handle, so that it could check
against it later for valid use.
