Right, I have taken this change to work on getting the vSVA with 
virtio-iommu.
For this I am adding a new request for virtio-iomm - 
VIRTIO_IOMMU_T_PAGE_RESP, and related struct virtio_iommu_req_page_resp 
that would contain information such as, pasid, grpid, response_code, 
flags, and endpoint. This is inline with struct iommu_page_response.
I will post out the patches for this soon.

Thanks & regards
Vivek
