As of today when a guest is assigned with a host PCI device and
an SMMUv3, VFIO calls memory_region_iommu_replay() default
implementation. This translates the whole address range and
completely stalls the execution. As VFIO/SMMUv3 integration
is not supported yet (it requires SMMUv3 HW nested paging), let's
recognize this situation and fail.

Also the series silences some spurious translation configuration
decoding errors (STE out of span or invalid STE) that may happen
on guest IOVA invalidation notifications.

https://github.com/eauger/qemu/tree/v4.1.0_smmu_vfio_fail_v4

History:

v3 -> v4:
- see individual patches

v2 -> v3:
- squash IOMMU_ATTR_VFIO_NESTED introduction and SMMUv3 usage
- assert when recognizing VFIO/NESTED case
- collect R-bs

v1 -> v2:
- Added "memory: Remove unused memory_region_iommu_replay_all()" &
  "hw/arm/smmuv3: Log a guest error when decoding an invalid STE"
- do not attempt to implement replay Cb but rather remove the call
  in case it is not needed
- explain why we do not remove other log messages on config decoding

Eric Auger (5):
