I'd drop this annotation; you only do something for UNMAP but nothing
prevents the caller from passing in something else :)

"data associated with the request" ?

(same reasoning as above)

"For an UNMAP request, unpin the guest IOVA (the NIB guest address we
pinned before). Other requests are ignored."
