[PATCH 0/8] iommu: Add auxiliary domain and PASID support to Arm SMMUv3

Add substreams and PCI PASID support to the SMMUv3 driver. At the moment
the driver supports a single address space per device. PASID enables
multiple address spaces per device, up to a million in theory (1 << 20).

Two kernel features will make use of PASIDs, auxiliary domains (AUXD)
and Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA). Auxiliary domains allow to program
PASID contexts using IOMMU domains. SVA allows to bind process address
spaces to device contexts and relieve device drivers of DMA management.

Since SVA support for SMMUv3 has a lot more dependencies (new fault API,
ASID pinning, generic bind, PRI or stall support, and so on),
introducing PASID support to the SMMUv3 driver is easier with auxiliary
domains.

The AUXD API allows device drivers to easily test PASID support of their
devices, although they need to allocate IOVA and pages themselves
because the DMA API doesn't support AUXD for the moment:

	iommu_dev_enable_feature(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_AUX);
	domain = iommu_domain_alloc(dev->bus);
	iommu_aux_attach_device(domain, dev);
	iommu_map(domain, iova, phys_addr, size, prot);
	pasid = iommu_aux_get_pasid(domain);
	/* Then launch DMA with the PASID and IOVA */

Auxiliary domains also allow to split devices into multiple contexts
assignable to guest, with vfio-mdev.
