deletion of the pending event is in page response function (int
iommu_page_response), once iommu driver finds a matching response for
the pending request, it will delete the pending event.

if the response never came, right now we don't delete it, just gives
warning.

There are two use cases:
case A: guest SVA, PRQ events are reported outside IOMMU subsystem,
e.g. vfio
case B: in-kernel

The io page fault queuing is Jean's patchset, mostly for case
B (in-kernel IO page fault handling). I will convert intel-svm to Jean's
io page fault mechanism so that we can also have parallel and out of
order queuing of PRQ. I still need some time to evaluate intel specific
needs such as streaming page request/response.

For case A, there is no queuing in host IOMMU driver. My understanding
of the flow is as the following:
1. host IOMMU receives PRQ
2. host IOMMU driver reports PRQ fault event to registered called, i.e.
vfio
3. VFIO reports fault event to QEMU
4. QEMU injects PRQ to guest
5. Guest IOMMU driver receives PRQ in IRQ
6. Guest IOMMU driver queue PRQ by groups, PASID.
So as long as in-kernel PRQ handling can do queuing, there is no need
for queuing in the host reporting path.
