I need support for mixed user PASID, kernel PASID and non-PASID use cases in 
the driver.

Which ever makes sense..  The API should take in a struct pci_device and return 
a PCI PASID - at least as a wrapper around a more generic immu api.

Since it is odd, and it may create overhead, I would do it only when asked to 
do it
