subtree that can be treated as a unit for the purposes of partitioning and
error recovery. A PE may be a single or multi-function IOA (IO Adapter), a
function of a multi-function IOA, or multiple IOAs (possibly including
switch and bridge structures above the multiple IOAs). PPC64 guests detect
PCI errors and recover from them via EEH RTAS services, which works on the
basis of additional ioctl commands.

So 4 additional ioctls have been added:

     VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO
             returns the size and the start of the DMA window on the PCI bus.

     VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE
             enables the container. The locked pages accounting
             is done at this point. This lets user first to know what
             the DMA window is and adjust rlimit before doing any real job.

     VFIO_IOMMU_DISABLE
             disables the container.

     VFIO_EEH_PE_OP
             provides an API for EEH setup, error detection and recovery.

mm::locked_vm counter to make sure we do not exceed the rlimit.
The v2 IOMMU splits accounting and pinning into separate operations:

- VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY/VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_UNREGISTER_MEMORY ioctls
  receive a user space address and size of the block to be pinned.
  Bisecting is not supported and VFIO_IOMMU_UNREGISTER_MEMORY is expected to
