Jean-Philippe has post a patchset for Adding PCIe SVM support to ARM SMMUv3:

But for some platform devices(aka on-chip integrated devices), there is also
SVM requirement, which works based on the SMMU stall mode.
Jean-Philippe has prepared a prototype patchset to support it:
git://linux-arm.org/linux-jpb.git svm/stall

We tested this patchset with some fixes on a on-chip integrated device. The
basic function is ok, so I just send them out for review, although this
patchset heavily depends on the former patchset (PCIe SVM support for ARM
SMMUv3), which is still under discussion.

Patch Overview:
*1 to 3 prepare for device tree or acpi get the device stall ability and pasid 
bits
*4 is to realise the SVM function for platform device
*5 is fix a bug when test SVM function while SMMU donnot support this feature
*6 avoid ILLEGAL setting of STE and CD entry about stall

Acctually here, I also have a question about SVM on SMMUv3:

1. Why the SVM feature on SMMUv3 depends on BTM feature? when bind a task to 
device,
    it will register a mmu_notify. Therefore, when a page range is invalid, we 
can
    send TLBI or ATC invalid without BTM?

2. According to ACPI IORT spec, named component specific data has a node flags 
field
    whoes bit0 is for Stall support. However, it do not have any field for 
pasid bit.
    Can we use other 5 bits[5:1] for pasid bit numbers, so we can have 32 pasid 
bit for
    a single platform device which should be enough, because SMMU only support 
20 bit pasid

I think we can propose something similar, it's a missing function in
IORT.

Thanks
