You've got it backwards, the main behavior should be to allocate PASID
per RID.

The special behavior is to bundle a bunch of PASIDs into a grouping
and then say the PASID number space is shared between all the group
members. 

/dev/ioasid should create and own this grouping either implicitly or
explicitly. Jumping ahead to in-kernel APIs has missed the critical
step of defining the uAPI and all the behaviors together in a
completed RFC proposal.
