Yes, the current plan is to create a PASID (SSID) allocator that could be
used by AMD, Intel, ARM, and other IOMMUs. Currently the kfd driver
allocates PASIDs, but this will be done by the IOMMU subsystem in the
future. Writing the generic allocator isn't on my schedule for the next
few months, though.

I'm trying to implement the next version of SMMU SVM with the following
principles in mind, and Intel are reworking their PASID allocator similarly.

* One PASID per task. Therefore bind(devA, task1) bind(devB, task1) will
return the same PASID. The PASID space is system-wide, just like ASIDs in ARM.

For ARM:

* PASID != ASID, because the PASID range depends on device capabilities,
while ASID range depends on the CPU. So PASID table might be smaller than
ASID range.

* PASID range and other SVM capabilities are capped by the weakest device
in an iommu_domain. This allows the SMMU driver to have a single context
table per domain. The downside is that if you attach the odd device that
doesn't support SVM to a domain before the first bind, then bind fails
(for any device in the domain). If you attach it after the first bind,
then the attach fails.

* amd_iommu_bind/unbind_pasid would be replaced by iommu_bind/unbind
* amd_iommu_set_invalid_ppr_cb/set_invalidate_ctx_cb would be replaced by
iommu_set_svm_ops.
* amd_iommu_init_device/amd_iommu_free_device would be performed
internally. init_device could be done by iommu_attach_dev, or by
iommu_bind lazily. free_device would be done by detach_dev.
* and_iommu_device_info may not be needed. Drivers can use iommu_bind to
check SVM capability (maybe with a dry-run flag like intel does).

Thanks,
Jean
