Okay, but how is all this virtio specific? For example, why not allow
separate swiotlbs for any type of device?
For example, this might make sense if a given device is from a
different, less trusted vendor.
All this can then maybe be hidden behind the DMA API.

I don't think DMA API maintainers will be happy with new users
of set_dma_ops.
