The idxd case was found, and fixed by me back in June. I just was
showing the stack trace to show that it crashes the system, not just
puts out a warning.

Why would this stop someone fixing the problem in a driver that is
calling sva_bind() interface incorrectly?

Nothing else in the system cares that some driver forgot to call
iommu_dev_enable_feat(), or forgot to check the return value. Nothing
else would be impacted by it, except that the system is being allowed
to crash. If the idea is to get noticed more quickly, couldn't a
WARN_ON() + returning an error solve that without resorting to
crashing the system?
