RE: [PATCH 0/5] iommu/virtio: Add identity domains

Support identity domains, allowing to only enable IOMMU protection for a
subset of endpoints (those assigned to userspace, for example). Users
may enable identity domains at compile time
(CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH), boot time
(iommu.passthrough=1) or
runtime (/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*/type = identity).

Patches 1-2 support identity domains using the optional
VIRTIO_IOMMU_F_BYPASS_CONFIG feature. The feature bit is not yet in the
spec, see [1] for the latest proposal.

Patches 3-5 add a fallback to identity mappings, when the feature is not
supported.

Note that this series doesn't touch the global bypass bit added by
VIRTIO_IOMMU_F_BYPASS_CONFIG. All endpoints managed by the IOMMU
should
be attached to a domain, so global bypass isn't in use after endpoints
are probed. Before that, the global bypass policy is decided by the
hypervisor and firmware. So I don't think Linux needs to touch the
global bypass bit, but there are some patches available on my
virtio-iommu/bypass branch [2] to test it.

QEMU patches are on my virtio-iommu/bypass branch [3] (and the list)
