We can also add vendor-specific page table and PASID table properties as
capabilities, otherwise we'll need giant unions in the iommu_device_info
struct. That made me wonder whether pgsize and addr_width should also be
separate capabilities for consistency, but this way might be good enough.
There won't be many more generic capabilities. I have "output address
width" and "PASID width", the rest is specific to Arm and SMMU table
formats.

Thanks,
Jean
