On arm we also need to report the IOMMU geometry to userspace (max IOVA size in particular). Shameer has been working on a solution [2] that presents a unified view of both geometry and reserved regions into the VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO call, and I think we should go with that. If I understand correctly it's currently blocked on the RMRR problem and we're waiting for Jacob or Ashok to take a look at it, as Kevin pinged them on thread [1]?
