We have a rather long history on this but the tl;dr is that the GPU microcode
switches the pagetables by rewriting TTBR0 on the fly (since this is
arm-smmu-v2 we have no better option) and yes, unfortunately it is hard coded
to use context bank 0. [1] is the current patchset to support all this,
including my own take on avoiding the dma-domain (all the cool kids have one).
