I don't think unbind should be allowed. Close the fd and re-open it if
you want to attach to a different iommu_fd.

Binding is the only point we have enough information to make a
full security decision. Device FDs that are not bound must be
inoperable until bound.
The complexities with revoking mmap/etc are what lead me to conclude
that unbind is not worth doing - we can't go back to an inoperable
state very easially.

I think the iommu code should do all of this, I don't see why vfio
should be dealing with *iommu* isolation.
The rest of this email got a bit long for me to catch up on, sorry :\
