I wonder how robust this mechanism is to identify target partition via
tgid.
1) what prevents a VMM process create more than one partition? in that
case each partition would have the same tgid.
2) IIUC, the lifetime of the partition is tied to FD, which is
different than the lifetime of a PID. The partition FD can be
inherited or passed to another process. The VMM tg can exit while
the FDs can be alive. Then the tgid can be reused by another unrelated
process, right?

Would it be more robust to based this on the partition FD instead of
tgid?
