So we can define iommu_get_dev_domain()/iommu_put_dev_domain(); iommu_get_dev_domain() will return domain with the lock held, and iommu_put_dev_domain() will release the lock? And iommu_get_dev_domain() must always be followed by iommu_get_dev_domain().

Let me first describe what we are doing here:
During initialization:-
- vfio talks to MSI system to know the MSI-page and size
- vfio then interacts with iommu to map the MSI-page in iommu (IOVA is decided by userspace and physical address is the MSI-page)
- So the IOVA subwindow mapping is created in iommu and yes VFIO know about this mapping.

Now do SET_IRQ(MSI/MSIX) ioctl:
- calls pci_enable_msix()/pci_enable_msi_block(): which is supposed to set MSI address/data in device.
- So in current implementation (this patchset) msi-subsystem gets the IOVA from iommu via this defined interface.
- Are you saying that rather than getting this from iommu, we should get this from vfio? What difference does this make?

Thanks
