The guest gets a dma range from the device-tree which is the range of
device-side dma addresses it can use that correspond to the table.
The guest kernel uses the normal linux iommu space allocator to allocate
space in that region and uses H_PUT_TCE to populate the corresponding
table entries.
This is the same interface that is used for "real" iommu's with PCI
devices btw.
Cheers,
Ben.
