4Description:
5		Process Address Space ID (PASID) assigned by IOMMU driver to
6		the device for use with Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA).
7
8		This read-only attribute exposes the PASID (A 20-bit identifier
9		used in PCIe Address Translation Services and iommu table walks)
10		allocated by the IOMMU driver during sva device binding.
11
12		User-space UIO applications must read this attribute to obtain
13		the PASID and program it into the device's configuration registers.
14		This enables the device to perform DMA using user-space virtual
15		address, with address translation handled by IOMMU.
16
17		UIO User-space applications must:
18		- Opening device and Mapping the device's register space via /dev/uioX
19		(This triggers the IOMMU driver to allocate the PASID)
20		- Reading the PASID from sysfs
21		- Writing the PASID to a device-specific register (with example offset)
22		The code may be like:
23
24		map = mmap(..., "/dev/uio0", ...);
25
26		f = fopen("/sys/.../pasid", "r");
27		fscanf(f, "%d", &pasid);
28
29		map[REG_PASID_OFFSET] = pasid;
