I see, with singleton group. I guess I can let dma-iommu code call

iommu_attach_dma_pasid {
	iommu_attach_device_pasid();
Then the PASID will be stored in the group xa.
The flush code can retrieve PASIDs from device_domain_info.device -> group
-> pasid_array.
Thanks for pointing it out, I missed the new pasid_array.

Got it. Perhaps another patch to rename, Baolu?
