That's not true.. We have no driver using it right now, but it is
definately part of the uAPI and a driver could start using it. That is
why it was hooked up in the first place.

If we want to do that then it needs to forward all the args

Right, you'd have to forward declare the struct and just let it
be. Really nothing but iommufd could call this API.

That's OK too, this above doesn't really need to be changed, some of
the concept here was that iommufd-only ops would just be directly
called by iommufd itself, to discourage future abuse.
