Hi Jordan,

Thank you for this, SMMUv3 and virtio-iommu need these SVA patches as well.

"io_base" is a bit vague. I'm bad at naming so my opinion doesn't hold
much water, but I'd rather this be something like "io_mm_base". When I
initially toyed with the idea I intended to keep io_mm as parent structure
and have "private" and "shared" sub-structures. Even if private PASIDs
don't rely on the kernel mm subsystem, this structure would still
represent an I/O mm of sorts, with a pgd and pgtable info.

Thanks,
Jean
