I think BIND_PGTBL is optional as ARM will bind guest pasid table to host. As for
CACHE_INVLD, per current nesting implementations, looks all stage-1/level-1
owner should issue cache invalidation when stage-1/level-1 changed. But still
added it here per the comments from Kevin. :-)

"So far this assumption is correct but it may not be true when thinking forward.
For example, a vendor might find a way to allow the owner of 1st-level page
table to directly invalidate cache w/o going through host IOMMU driver. From
this angle I feel explicitly reporting this capability is more robust."

I see, may align with other iommu uapi. :-)
