It should be the vIOMMU's HW representation for the virtual device.

On ARM it is the stream id, the index into the Stream Table

On AMD it would be the "DeviceID" the index in the Device Table

On Intel it is an index into the context table

The primary usage is to transform virtual invalidations from the guest
into physical invalidations.

We probably need to add the vRID as well to this struct for that
reason.

The vdev_id is the iommu handle, and there is a platform specific
transformation between Bus/Device/Function and the iommu handle. In
some cases this is math, in some cases it is ACPI/DT tables or
something.

So I think the kernel should not make an assumption about the
relationship.
