Hi All
This code provides the iommufd support for vdpa device
This code fixes the bugs from the last version and also add the asid support. rebase on kernel
v6,6-rc3
Test passed in the physical device (vp_vdpa), but  there are still some problems in the emulated device (vdpa_sim_net), 
What kind of problems? Understanding that will make it easier
to figure out whether this is worth reviewing.
IMHO, this patch series needs to spend more time internally to Red Hat
before it is presented to the community. It is too far away from
something worth reviewing at this point.

Jason
I am always trying to convince people to post RFCs early
instead of working for months behind closed doors only
to be told to rewrite everything in Rust.

Why does it have to be internal to a specific company?
I see Yi Liu from Intel is helping Cindy get it into shape
and that's classic open source ethos.

I know some subsystems ignore the RFC tag but I didn't realize
iommu is one of these. Is that really true?
