> The new type of vIOMMU for tegra241-cmdqv allows user space VM to use
> one
> of its virtual command queue HW resources exclusively. This requires user
> space to mmap the corresponding MMIO page from kernel space for direct
> HW
> control.
> 
> To forward the mmap info (offset and length), iommufd should add a driver
> specific data structure to the IOMMUFD_CMD_VIOMMU_ALLOC ioctl, for
> driver
> to output the info during the allocation back to user space.
> 
> Similar to the existing ioctls and their IOMMU handlers, add a user_data
> to viommu_alloc op to bridge between iommufd and drivers.
