As it is tie to PASID this is done using IOMMU so looks for caller
of amd_iommu_bind_pasid() or intel_svm_bind_mm() in GPU the existing
user is the AMD GPU driver see:

drivers/gpu/drm/amd/
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/

Lot of codes there. The GPU code details do not really matter for
this discussions thought. You do not need to do much to use PASID.

Cheers,
Jérôme
