Extend memory transaction attributes with process identifier to allow
per-request address translation logic to use requester_id / process_id
to identify memory mapping (e.g. enabling IOMMU w/ PASID translations).

What is this for?  What is different about it than requester_id?

The IOMMU memory region uses both the requester_id (internally called device_id) and
the process id (the PASID for PCI devices) to identify a context because the IOMMU
allows the same PID to be used by multiple requester_ids. Using only the requester_id
is not enough to identify the IOMMU context.


Thanks,
