Maybe, I need to think about that. Anyway, I'm still not convinced, please see
next question.

>>I really hate to make that part of the IOMMUv2 driver API,
What do you mean ? I don't see I change anything in the API. All the changes are
internal to amd_iommu_unbind_pasid(). I don't think *anyone* calling to
amd_iommu_unbind_pasid() will care or will notice the slight change in timing of
releasing the pasid_state object (instead of immediate release, it is released
after the iteration on the mmu_notifier list has finished)
