The vfio changes would need to be implemented in alignment with the
/dev/iommu proposals[1].  AIUI, the VMID is essentially binding
multiple containers together for TLB invalidation, which I expect in
the proposal below is largely already taken care of in that a single
iommu-fd can support multiple I/O address spaces and it's largely
expected that a hypervisor would use a single iommu-fd so this explicit
connection by userspace across containers wouldn't be necessary.

We're expecting to talk more about the /dev/iommu approach at Plumbers
in few weeks.  Thanks,

Alex
