Ah thanks. This cleared things up for me. A quick search shows there are still 
no users of intel_svm_bind_mm() but I see the AMD version used in that GPU 
driver.

One thing I could not grok from the code how the GPU driver indicates which DMA 
events require ATS translations and which do not. I am assuming the driver 
implements someway of indicating that and its not just a global ON or OFF for 
all DMAs? The reason I ask is that I looking at if NVMe was to support ATS what 
would need to be added in the NVMe spec above and beyond what we have in PCI 
ATS to support efficient use of ATS (for example would we need a flag in the 
submission queue entries to indicate a particular IO's SGL/PRP should undergo 
ATS).

Cheers
