Hey Alexey, what is the use case for the above commit? Shouldn't we handle all addressing limits using the iommu?Our secure VMs is the use case, when only a fraction of system memory is available for DMA.
But shouldn't we force usage of the direct ops in that case as the IOMMU is not neededed at all? Also isn't that support non-upstream so far?
