I'm not quire flow here. Intel also allows PASID usage in guest without
ENQCMD. e.g. Passthru a PF to guest, and use PASID on it without ENQCMD.

good suggestion, will do.

I think it still has relationship with device. This is determined by the
DMA remapping hierarchy in hardware. e.g. Intel VT-d, the DMA isolation is
enforced first in device granularity and then PASID granularity. SVA makes
usage of both PASID and device granularity isolation.
