Ah. This patch should remove ioasid_get(). So I will change this patch
as follows:

1. Remove ioasid_get() because it's not used any more when IOASID's
   refcount is set to 1 once the IOASID is allocated and is freed on mm exit.
2. Change mm_pasid_get() to mm_pasid_set().

Will that work?

Thanks.
