RIDPASID is just an alias to RID in the PASID table (similar to pasid#0
on other platforms). it's reserved and not exposed outside the 
intel-iommu driver. So I don't think it should be managed via the
generic iommu API. But probably you can generalize it with other
pasids within intel-iommu driver if doing so can simplify the logic
there.
