Why more complicated? That's actually another solution I was thinking about, to just map everything as soon as possible and let host_stage2_idmap_locked() and host_stage2_set_owner_locked() unmap what is needed here. (and also in __pkvm_host_donate_hyp_mmio()) We wouldn't need any specific setup walker for the iommu at all. > > Also, I rely on the IOMMU init to be done at the end of setup, so we > do not have to clean the IOMMU init if any other part of KVM fails.
