Please don't abuse the prot flags by overloading them with 
caller-specific meanings, especially if that ends up completely 
reversing the expected meaning. They represent fairly generic semantics 
which IOMMU drivers, and thus io-pgtable implementations, are expected 
to match if the underlying format supports it, or ignore if not. If a 
pagetable format has other functionality which a caller wants to make 
use of, then we can look at extending that (possibly even as far as 
reserving some prot values for format-specific definitons, if need be), 
but the point is still to represent the functionality of the 
MMU/pagetable itself, not encode higher-level use-cases.

I don't quite follow what you're saying there.... however, since 
io-pgtable-arm already supports the TTB0/TTB1 distinction, on the face 
of it it would seem simpler to make use of the existing 
IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_ARM_TTBR1 than play weird non-obvious tricks to pretend 
TTB1 somehow lives inside the TTB0 VA range (or is it the other way round?)

So coprocessor-only mappings are global, but any shared or GPU-only 
mappings are per-ASID? I guess that kind of makes sense, but it's not 
the easiest to follow. Would you even have firmware-only mappings in the 
"user context" pagetable, or is this an artefact of the TTB1 trickery 
(assuming the typical usage model where the upper address space stays 
constant, and the lower half is context-switched) which could perhaps be 
expressed a better way?

More than that, though, if there is "no real noexec control" as the 
commit message claims, howcome the great majority of the complexity here 
is dedicated to setting XN bits?

This doesn't make much sense... it's cache-coherent yet everything is 
always non-shareable? I'm going to guess that bits 9:8 probably do 
something else and you're actually just trying to make sure they aren't 
set; if so, please express that semantic appropriately.

The comment further up implies it's called TTBAT?
