VFIO already offers an interface for that. It shouldn't be too
complicated to expand that for PASID-bound page-tables.

Could be implemented by a fault-fd handed out by VFIO.

I really don't think that user-space should have to deal with details
like PASIDs or other IOMMU internals, unless absolutly necessary. This
is an OS we work on, and the idea behind an OS is to abstract the
hardware away.
