This is great. Then the semantic matches exactly the PASID proposal here[1].

On top, we may extend the netlink protocol to report the mapping between virtqueue to its groups.
[GD>>] Yes, I've already discussed this with Eugenio. For testing purpose, I added the mapping in Xilinx netdriver "sfc".

Thanks
