This is what is proposed in this RFC. A successful binding generates a new
iommu_dev object for each vfio device. For mdev this object includes 
its parent device, the defPASID marking this mdev, and the cookie 
representing it in userspace. Later it is iommu_dev being recorded in
the attaching_data when the mdev is attached to an IOASID:

	struct iommu_attach_data *__iommu_device_attach(
		struct iommu_dev *dev, u32 ioasid, u32 pasid, int flags);

Then when a fault is reported, the fault handler just needs to figure out 
iommu_dev according to {rid, pasid} in the raw fault data.
