IIUC, the IOMMU domain represents the address space. There is only one address
space in a case of GART, the GART's aperture. So GART not only isn't
differentiating between different devices, but also between different domains.

Good catch, thanks!

For the starter we'll have a single domain solely used by GPU with all its
sub-devices. Context switching will be handled by the Tegra's DRM driver. Later
we may consider introducing IOMMU support for the video decoder, at least to
provide memory isolation for the buffers to which decoder performs writing.

Cross-driver context switching isn't that straightforward and I think Tegra-GART
driver shouldn't take care of context switching in any form and only perform
mapping / unmapping operations. There are couple variants of how to deal with
the context switching:

1. A simple solution could be to logically split the GART's aperture space into
different domains, but GART's aperture won't be utilized efficiently with this
approach, wasting IOVA space quite a lot.

2. In order to utilize aperture more efficiently, we are going to make DRM
driver to cache IOMMU mappings such that graphics buffer will be moved to the
cache-eviction list on unmapping and actually unmapped when that buffer isn't
in-use and there is no IOVA space for another buffer or on the buffers
destruction. We'll use DRM's MM scanning helper for that [0][1]. Maybe we could
share access to that MM helper with the video decoder somehow. Seems IOMMU API
isn't tailored for a such use-case, so probably having a custom
platform-specific API on top of the IOMMU API would be fine and with that we
could have cross-device/driver context switching handled by the custom API.

Please let me know if you have any other variants to suggest.

Seems more correctly would be to remove iommu_group_put() from
gart_iommu_add_device().

Yes, looks like this refcount-bump isn't needed here. I'll revisit the
refcountings and correct them in v2 where necessary.

Thank you very much for the review.
