Even for device specific IOPF, PASID/ATS are still required on the IOMMU
side.

PCI PRI and device specific IOPF *should* be equivalent. But the IOMMU
side has no means to check the capability of device-specific IOPF.
Therefore, IOMMU can only default that if the device driver enables SVA
on a non-PRI device, it will handle IOPF in its own way.
