From: Nicolin Chen <nicoleotsuka at gmail.com>

The SMMUv3 devices implemented in the Grace SoC support NVIDIA's custom
CMDQ-Virtualization (CMDQV) hardware. Like the new ECMDQ feature first
introduced in the ARM SMMUv3.3 specification, CMDQV adds multiple VCMDQ
interfaces to supplement the single architected SMMU_CMDQ in an effort
to reduce contention.

This patch series adds CMDQV support to the arm-smmu-v3 driver by first
borrowing the implementation infrastructure from the arm-smmu driver.
The NVIDIA implementation is then introduced along with hooks allowing
implmentations to specify custom issue_cmdlist methods. Additionally,
the original issue_cmdlist and supporting methods in the arm-smmu-v3
driver are reworked to support alternative CMDQs. 

[ nicolinc: this v1 is more of base changes for CMDQV driver; while I
  am still integrating incremental features based on VFIO mdev, I sent
  these two out in order to collect comments and suggestions to see if
  the overall structure is promising. I will add more changes in v2 or
  later versions for more detailed implementations. Thank you! ]
