Would it make sense to make this the only interface for creating TCEs?
That is, pass both a window_size and an IOMMU group id (or e.g. -1 for
no hardware IOMMU usage), and have a single ioctl for both cases?
There's some duplicated code between kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce and
kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce_iommu.

KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE could stay for backwards-compatibility, or you
could just use a new capability and drop the old ioctl. I'm not sure
whether you're already considering the ABI to be stable for kvmppc.
