Shared Virtual Memory(PCIe based). So going back to one of your
mapping examples. The protocol can be AF_CHANNEL.
Modes could be:
AF_ZC , AF_XDP_REDIRECT

Mapping types could be:
AF_NON_SVM(current setup - no PASID needed), AF_SVM(onus is on the
user to pass the PASID as part of the setsockopt), AF_SVM++
