you can find it here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128805403014740&w=2

I will add it to the iommu migration set once all the dependencies are merged.

it is not clear for me. do you mean having default start/end in
platform data then when iommu_get is call pass them to start/end in
struct iommu and the new api change start/end in struct iommu?

Please let me know if that is correct.
