I was planning to also fix the S2 to be able to attach to multiple
IOMMU instances at the same time as getting VMID to the viommu.. It
doesn't quite make sense to me that viommu would allow multi-attach
but the normal cases wouldn't. Did you find a shortcut?

The main issue here was to do this without degrading the invalidation
workflow and harming SVA and DMA API performance..
