For DMA API pasid, there is nothing special just let it fall through and
call 
	intel_pasid_tear_down_entry(iommu, dev, pasid, false);

I think all the trouble is caused by  the asymmetrical setup of
iommu_op.remove_dev_pasid() and iommu_domain_ops.set_dev_pasid()
Perhaps, we should "demote" remove_dev_pasid to iommu_domain_ops then we
don't have to check SVA specific things.

Good catch, that seems to be unnecessary.

Yes, or if the teardown op is domain-specific, then it works too?


Thanks,
