I'm wondering whether the 'per-vIOMMU virtual ID' is intended to be
generic for other features that might require a vdevice. I'm also not
sure where this virtual ID originates when I read it here. Could it
potentially come from the KVM instance? If so, how about retrieving it
directly from a struct kvm pointer? My understanding is that vIOMMU in
IOMMUFD acts as a handle to KVM, so perhaps we should maintain a
reference to the kvm pointer within the iommufd_viommu structure?
