This timer scheme is very rough.

The timer expires every 10 seconds (by default).

0                   10                 20                30                 40

F0 F1  F2 F3                       (F1,F2,F3 will not be handled until here!)

F0, F1, F2, F3 are four page faults happens during [0, 10s) time
window. F1, F2, F3 timeout won't be handled until the timer expires
again at 20s. That means a fault might be pending there until about
(2 * prq_timeout) seconds later.

Out of curiosity, Why not adding a timer in iommu_fault_event, starting it in
iommu_report_device_fault() and removing it in iommu_page_response()?
