The iommu layer cannot have ambiguity. Every RID or RID,PASID slot
must have only one device attached to it. Attempting to connect two
devices to the same slot fails on the iommu layer.

So the 2nd mdev will fail during IOASID binding when it tries to bind
to the same PASID that the first mdev is already bound to.
