The pasid is defined as "int" in struct intel_svm and in 
intel_svm_bind_mm() and intel_svm_unbind_mm(). So the pasid defined in this 
patch follows the same type defined in those places.

But as you pointed out below, ioasid_t is defined as "unsigned int".

The caller defines pasid_max and flags as "int". This function just follows
the caller's definitions.

But I will change their definitions to "unsigned int" here.

Should I just define "pasid", "pasid_max", "flags" as "unsigned int" for
the new functions/code?

Or should I also change their types to "unsigned int" in the original
svm code (struct intel_svm, ...bind_mm(), etc)? I'm afraid that will be
a lot of changes and should be in a separate preparation patch.

Thanks.
