Right, it is inconsistent.
Consider the following scenario on a single guest with two vIOMMUs:
1. vIOMMU1 register allocator A1 first
2. vIOMMU2 register allocator A2 stored to the allocator list
3. device belong to vIOMMU1 bind_sva(), allocate PASID1 from A1
4. device belong to vIOMMU2 bind_sva(), allocate PASID2 from A1
5. vIOMMU1 hot removed, free PASID1, then unregister A1
6. IOASID framework will try to free A1 then install A2 as the active
allocator but PASID2 is in use. It will be unnecessarily disruptive to
free PASID2

I can think of a solution:
 - Add a flag when registering ioasid custom allocator,
IOASID_ALLOC_RETAIN, which means when switching to another custom
allocator, all outstanding PASIDs will be retained. Of course it does
not include switching to default allocator which does not have this
RETAIN flag.

 - For the allocators do not have this flag, their PASIDs must be freed
upon unregistering.

Any thoughts?
