The main question is if the control is global to the entire VIOMMU and
all its HW QUEUE's or local to a single HW QUEUE.

If it is global then some "modify viommu" operation should be used to
change it.

If it is local then some "modify hw queu" operation.

IOMMUFD_CMD_OPTION could be used with an object_id == VIOMMU as a kind
of modify..
