In retrospect "enable" might not be the best word to use here. We are not
"enabling" user-space driver driven device verification as it is already
enabled; you could already poke a device from user space. But the whole poke
space was not available, you could not test IOPF without having an SVM/PASID
capable IOMMU. Therefore a better wording would be "Our main motivation is to
expand or facilitate user-space driver driven device verification by enabling
IOPF without SMV/PASID".
Does this address your concern?

oops. Missed that one; will correct in next version

I'll figure this out for the next version.
Thx for the review
