[PATCH 06/11] vfio: Introduce and set noiommu flag on vfio_device
From: Jacob Pan
Date: Fri Feb 27 2026 - 12:54:23 EST
When a VFIO device is added to a noiommu group, set the noiommu flag on
the vfio_device structure to indicate that the device operates in
noiommu mode.
Also update function signatures to pass vfio_device instead of device,
which has the direct access to the noiommu flag.
