This is the same "DMA API global PASID" you reviewed in v3, I just
singled it out as a standalone patch and renamed it. Here is your previous
review comment.

These are poorly named, this is really the DMA API global PASID and
shouldn't be used for other things.



Perhaps I misunderstood, do you mind explaining more?
