Ok, one scenario would be when SVM run out of the VM_ID and having to 
start re-using them. Since we want SVM to generate ga_tag and just pass 
into IOMMU driver for it to program the IRTE, we probably can make an 
assumption that SVM would make sure that ga_tag would not conflict for 
each vm_id/vcpu_id.
