I found that adding it as a new object makes things a lot of easier since a vdevice can take refcounts of both viommu and idev. So both destroy() callbacks wouldn't be bothered. While confirming if I am missing something from the review comments, I am not quite sure what is "the thing you put in the ids xarray".. I only added a vRID xarray per viommu, yet that doesn't seem to be able to merge into the normal object struct. Mind elaborating?
