In vt-d use, I use private data for preserving vt-d specific fault data
across request and response. e.g. vt-d has streaming response type in
addition to group response (standard). This way, generic code does not
need to know about it.

At device level, since we have to sanitize page response based on
pending page requests, I am doing the private data copy in iommu.c, in
the pending event list.
