Patches 1-3: msi_get_region needs to return an error an error (probably
-EINVAL) if called on a path where there's no backend implementation.
Otherwise the caller doesn't know that the data in the region pointer
isn't valid.

Patches 5&6: same as above for msi_set_iova, return an error if no
backend implementation.

Patch 7: Why does fsl_msi_del_iova_device bother to return anything if
it's always zero?  Return -ENODEV when not found?

Patch 9:

vfio_handle_get_attr() passes random kernel data back to userspace in
the event of iommu_domain_get_attr() error.

vfio_handle_set_attr(): I don't see any data validation happening, is
iommu_domain_set_attr() really that safe?

For both of those, drop the pr_err on unknown attribute, it's sufficient
to return error.

Is VFIO_IOMMU_PAMU_GET_MSI_BANK_COUNT per aperture (ie. each vfio user
has $COUNT regions at their disposal exclusively)?  Thanks,

Alex
