SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Currently, with below commit present in 5.16 upstream kernel,
mdev_set_iommu_device() kABI is removed.
fda49d97f2c4 ("vfio: remove the unused mdev iommu hook")
This results in SRIOV based Nvidia vGPU being broken with kernels that
have the above upstream commit present.
So, with Ubuntu 22.04 HWE kernel update (i.e the 6.2.x Lunar kernel),
SRIOV based Nvidia vGPU is broken.
Earlier, during 5.19.x HWE kernel in Kinetic release, a similar patch
was accepted. Refer
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2022-September/133142.html
But, this patch didn't get carry-forward from Kinetic to Lunar because
of upstream merge conflict and had to be revert.
[Fix]
On 6.2.x HWE kernel, we revert the above patch which removed the
support for mdev_set_iommu_device() kABI so that vGPU works fine.
[Testcase]
Run SRIOV based (Ampere+) Nvidia vGPU on 6.2.x (Lunar) kernel.
