I think it makes more sense to expose some kind of "pasid group" to
qemu that identifies that each PASID must be unique across the
group. For vIOMMUs that are doing funky things with the RID This means
a single PASID group must not be exposed as two RIDs to the guest.

If the kernel blocks it then it can never be fixed by updating the
vIOMMU design.
