In principle it should be working on any platform with such devices;
as long as you have a VFIO IOMMU driver for the PAMU (on ARM we use
VFIO PLATFORM for the device, with VFIO IOMMU TYPE1 for the IOMMU).

So if you have a suitable IOMMU driver for your target, feel free to
test it, and let us know of the results.
