Hey Alexey,
what is the use case for the above commit? Shouldn't we handle all
addressing limits using the iommu?
Our secure VMs is the use case, when only a fraction of system memory is
available for DMA.
But shouldn't we force usage of the direct ops in that case as the
IOMMU is not neededed at all?
We do, for mappings, but not unmappings and syncing.
Also isn't that support non-upstream so far?
How is this relevant? I expect the existing "swiotlb=force" just work.
