let's also move 'partial' from struct iopf_device_param into struct
iommu_fault_param. That logic is not specific to sva.

meanwhile probably iopf_device_param can be renamed to
iopf_sva_param since all the remaining fields are only used by
the sva handler.

current naming (iommu_fault_param vs. iopf_device_param) is a
bit confusing when reading related code.

My understanding is that iommu_fault_param is for all kinds of iommu
faults. Currently they probably include recoverable IO page faults or
unrecoverable DMA faults.

While, iopf_device_param is for the recoverable IO page faults. I agree
that this naming is not specific and even confusing. Perhaps renaming it
to something like iommu_iopf_param?


or just iopf_param.

Okay.
