OK, I will.

Good spot :-). The code will skip bitmap_set under this situation.

We should set the bitmap unconditionally when vfio_iommu is promoted,
as we must have IOMMU backed domain before promoting the vfio_iommu.

Besides, I think we should also mark dirty in vfio_remove_dma if dirty
tracking is active. Right?

Thanks,
Keqian
