+struct iommufd_viommu {
+	struct iommufd_object obj;
+	struct iommufd_ctx *ictx;
+	struct iommu_device *iommu_dev;
+	struct iommufd_hwpt_paging *hwpt;	/* maybe unneeded */
+
+	int vmid;
+
+	union iommu_driver_user_data {
+		struct iommu_driver_user_vtd;
+		struct iommu_driver_user_arm_smmuv3;
+		struct iommu_driver_user_amd_viommu;
+	};
+};

Then iommu_ops would need something like:
	iommu_user_alloc/free(struct iommu_device *iommu_dev,
			      union *iommu_driver_user_data, int *vmid);
	iommu_user_set/unset_dev_id(union iommu_driver_user_data,
				    struct device* dev. u32/u64 id);
	iommu_user_invalidate(union iommu_driver_user_data *iommu,
			      struct iommu_user_data_array *array);

Comments and ideas on better naming convention?

The idea having a hwpt pointer is to share the paging hwpt among
the viommu objects. I don't think it "shouldn't have", yet likely
we can avoid it depending on whether it will have some use or not
in the context.
