It's the vhost_iotlb_msg defined in uapi/linux/vhost_types.h.

My understanding is that it may:
- have a unified uAPI with vSVA: alloc, bind, unbind, free
- leave the binding policy to userspace instead of the using a implied
one in the kenrel

I'm not sure I understand this. But this demonstrates the flexibility of
an unified uAPI. E.g it allows vDPA and VFIO device to use the same
PAISD which can be shared with a process in the guest.
For the race condition, it could be probably solved with refcnt.
