I saw this code in intel_pasid_tear_down_entry(). Isn't the last line
flush the devtlb? Not in guest of course since the passdown tlb flush
is inclusive.

pasid_cache_invalidation_with_pasid(iommu, did, pasid);
iotlb_invalidation_with_pasid(iommu, did, pasid);

/* Device IOTLB doesn't need to be flushed in caching mode. */
if (!cap_caching_mode(iommu->cap))
devtlb_invalidation_with_pasid(iommu, dev, pasid);
