Hi Will,

Sorry for the late response.

You mean the "vsmmu_size" and "vsmmu_type" right?

So you want them to be removed, by having two impl_ops:
	size_t get_vsmmu_size(enum iommu_viommu_type vsmmu_type);
	int (*vsmmu_init)(struct arm_vsmmu *vsmmu,
			  const struct iommu_user_data *user_data);

right?

Hmm, I was hoping for an implementation could support the default
IOMMU_VIOMMU_TYPE_ARM_SMMUV3 while having its own viommu_ops or so.
But I think your suggestion is fine since there is no such a use
case at this moment :)

Thanks for that! I can draft a patch to send later this week once
the requirements are confirmed.
