Some vendor IOMMU drivers are able to declare that it is running in a VM
context. This is very valuable for the features that only want to be
supported on bare metal. Add a capability bit so that it could be used.
And how is it used? Who and how will set it?
Use the existing iommu_capable(). I should add more descriptions about
who and how to use it.
I want to see the code that sets this capability.
Currently we have Intel VT-d and the virt-iommu setting this capability.

 static bool intel_iommu_capable(enum iommu_cap cap)
 {
 	if (cap == IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY)
 		return domain_update_iommu_snooping(NULL) == 1;
 	if (cap == IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP)
 		return irq_remapping_enabled == 1;
+	if (cap == IOMMU_CAP_VIOMMU)
+		return caching_mode_enabled();

 	return false;
 }

And,

+static bool viommu_capable(enum iommu_cap cap)
+{
+	if (cap == IOMMU_CAP_VIOMMU)
+		return true;
+
+	return false;
+}
These two functions are reading this cap and not setting.
Where can I see code that does "cap = IOMMU_CAP_VIOMMU" and not "=="?
Best regards,
baolu
