Trying to understand the intended use case under queue full condition.
1 model specific iommu driver register a flush callback to handle
  internal PRQ drain

2 IOMMU HW detects queue full and auto respond with 'SUCCESS' code to
  all device and PASID, raise interrupt

3 model specific iommu driver detects queue full and call
iopf_queue_flush_dev()

4 call queue->flush() callback to drain PRQ in-flight inside IOMMU HW
5.Shoot down partial list for all PASIDs

If the above understanding is correct, don't we need to shoot down all
partial groups? instead of just one PASID. At least for VT-d, we need
to do that.
