I actually ran this with lockdep and didn't generate a warning;
hopefully I had it configured correctly.  Also, we'll soon be unmapping
the guest any time we remove the last assigned device so this will no
longer be a vm destruction-only path.  We can just as easily race adding
new mappings or removing already removed ones on that path.  We also
acquire kvm->lock in the mapping path:

kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device() {
mutex_lock(&kvm->lock);
if (!kvm->arch.iommu_domain) {
      r = kvm_iommu_map_guest(kvm);

which by inspection and the lock ordering note in kvm_main seems to be
ok.  Thanks,

Alex
