Hmm, the guest directed iommu updates via hypercalls may not really fit
the MemoryListener model.  I'm just trying to think of ways to avoid
having an offshoot of vfio in the power code base by making use of
common abstraction layers.  If we got a region_add/del callback we could
potentially move the spapr map and unmap into vfio like we do for x86.
Thanks,

Alex
