I am still reviewing patch-1 and the hitless machinery (also I think -or hope-
this can be simplified), with the assumption that
arm_smmu_install_ste_for_dev()/arm_smmu_write_ste() will do the right thing,
that good looks good to me.

However, as it changes the current behavior of the driver where disable_bypass
used to override require_direct, I am not sure if this would break any existing setups.


Thanks,
