[RFC PATCH 0/9] "Non-shared" IOMMU support on ARM

[Oleksandr Tyshchenko <olekstysh@gmail.com>]

Hi, all.

The purpose of this patch series is to create a base for porting
any "Non-shared" IOMMUs to Xen on ARM. Saying "Non-shared" IOMMU I mean
the IOMMU that can't share the page table with the CPU.
Primarily, we are interested in IPMMU-VMSA and I hope that it will be the first candidate.
It is VMSA-compatible IOMMU that integrated in the newest Renesas R-Car Gen3 SoCs (ARM).
And this IOMMU can't share the page table with the CPU since it uses
stage-1 page table unlike the CPU that uses stage-2 therefore I name it
"Non-shared" IOMMU.

I have already raised disscusion [2] about some generic problems I had faced
during porting IPMMU-VMSA Linux driver to Xen. And on this basis I made
patches you can see it in this request. Only the first patch is not related to 
IOMMU. But, I decided to ship it with the current request since it is a generic change
which we will need in a moment.

The reason for this patch series to be RFC is that I still have some doubts about generic code I touched.
I hope that I haven't broken anything for x86, but confirmation is needed.

I didn't include IPMMU-VMSA driver in this request. Although, I am still in progress, I want to say
that passthrough use-cases (actually what this all are firstly needed for) work for me with some limitations.
I tested on Salvator-X board (R-Car H3) with the next devices that have DMA IPs
connected to IPMMU uTLBs (using current master branch):
1. AUDMA is assigned to dom0 (protected by IOMMU)
2. SDHC0 is assigned to dom1 (passthrough to domain)
3. SDHC3 is assigned to dom2 (passthrough to domain)

During porting IPMMU-VMSA driver to Xen I was trying to be as close as possible to Linux [1]. But,
it was a little bit difficult). It would be really nice to have some feedback and get your feeling regarding this driver.
I am also interested in if I took the right direction or there are some other ideas on doing the same.
So, is it a right direction to move on?

You can find IPMMU-VMSA driver here.
repo: https://github.com/otyshchenko1/xen.git branch: ipmmu_ml
or
https://github.com/otyshchenko1/xen/commits/ipmmu_ml
It is located on top of "Unshared" IOMMU patch series and consist of 6 patches.

Thank you.
