We can't do that, vfio-pci is only one bus driver within the vfio
ecosystem.

I don't really see why we wouldn't use mmu notifiers so that the vfio
iommu backend and vfio bus driver remain independent.

It would be nice to solve both issues and I'll start working on the mmu
notifier side of things, but this series does solve a real issue on
its own and we're not changing the iommu mapping behavior here.  Thanks,
