Hi Robin,

Together with reasonable defaults (influenced by compile-time
options) it seems to be a good thing to configure at runtime via
sysfs.

We already have CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH, which can probably be
extended to be an option list:

	- CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH: Trusted devices are identity
					    mapped

	- CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_DMA_STRICT: Trusted devices are DMA
					   mapped with strict flush
					   behavior on unmap

	- CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_DMA_LAZY: Trusted devices are DMA mapped
					 with flush queues for performance

Untrusted devices always get into the DMA domain with bounce pages by
default.

The defaults can be changed at runtime via sysfs. We already have basic
support for runtime switching of the default domain, so that can be
re-used.

Regards,

	Joerg
