This is always my question when we start embedding IDs in structures.

Can we enforce it via the IOMMU/VFIO interface? If the response is for
a struct device, and not an rid/did embedded in a structure, then vfio
can pass it through w/o worrying about it, ie. response comes in via
ioctl with association to vfio device fd -> struct vfio_device -> struct
device, iommu driver fills in rid/did. Thanks,
Alex
