You defined the "get_tph" function to take a pointer to a raw steering
tag value, but you're passing in the steering index to it's table.
But in general, since you're letting the user put whatever they want in
the vfio private area, should there be some validation that it's in the
valid range? I'm also not quite sure how user space comes to know what
steering tag to use, or what harm might happen if the wrong one is used.
