I think v10 is OK

struct iommu_hwpt_invalidate {
	__u32 size;
	__u32 hwpt_id;
	__aligned_u64 data_uptr;
	__u32 data_type;
	__u32 entry_len;
	__u32 entry_num;
	__u32 __reserved;
};

Sends the invalidation to the HWPT which matches what Intel wanted
where the entire HWPT and all its associated devices are
invalidated. No seperate per-device invalidation.

For error and event reporting they should be returned to userspace
with the IOMMU dev_id indicating the originating PCI function.

The VMM would have to convert dev_id into vRID according to the vIOMMU
instance that the device is hooked up.

In iommu land we should never have a "RID" but always some kind of
device-specific "device ID" which is the index into the particular HW
table, and that ID is naturally scoped to within the IOMMU instance
that owns the table - so it is very much not a global ID that can be
used alone in any of the uAPI.

The uAPI should use the iommufd device ID to refer to specific
devices.
