I would say all shared PASIDs held by userspace should be captured by
by a resource limit, it doesn't matter if they are global PASIDs or
device local shared PASIDs.

So if a cgroup comes it is just a matter of putting charges in the
right place which is auditable by looking at calls to attach pasid
functions.
