Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 08/13] iommu: Introduce IOMMU emulation infrastructure
Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 14:49:02 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336625347-10169-9-git-send-email-benh@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1336625347-10169-1-git-send-email-benh@kernel.crashing.org>

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

This patch adds the basic infrastructure necessary to emulate an IOMMU
visible to the guest.  The DMAContext structure is extended with
information and a callback describing the translation, and the various
DMA functions used by devices will now perform IOMMU translation using
this callback.
