Subject: [PATCH v1 0/8] Add IO page table replacement support

Hi all,

The existing IOMMU APIs provide a pair of functions: iommu_attach_group()
for callers to attach a device from the default_domain (NULL if not being
supported) to a given iommu domain, and iommu_detach_group() for callers
to detach a device from a given domain to the default_domain. Internally,
the detach_dev op is deprecated for the newer drivers with default_domain.
This means that those drivers likely can switch an attaching domain to
another one, without stagging the device at a blocking or default domain,
for use cases such as:
1) vPASID mode, when a guest wants to replace a single pasid (PASID=0)
   table with a larger table (PASID=N)
2) Nesting mode, when switching the attaching device from an S2 domain
   to an S1 domain, or when switching between relevant S1 domains.

This series introduces a new iommu_group_replace_domain() for that. And
add corresponding support throughout the uAPI. So user space can do such
a REPLACE ioctl reusing the existing VFIO_DEVICE_ATTACH_IOMMUFD_PT. This
means that user space needs to be aware whether the device is attached or
not: an unattached device calling VFIO_DEVICE_ATTACH_IOMMUFD_PT means a
regular ATTACH; an attached device calling VFIO_DEVICE_ATTACH_IOMMUFD_PT
on the other hand means a REPLACE.

QEMU with this feature should have the vIOMMU maintain a cache of the
guest io page table addresses and assign a unique IOAS to each unique
guest page table.

As the guest writes the page table address to the HW registers qemu should
then use the 'replace domain' operation on VFIO to assign the VFIO device
to the correct de-duplicated page table.

The algorithm where QEMU uses one VFIO container per-device and removes
all the mappings to change the assignment should ideally not be used with
iommufd.

To apply this series, please rebase on top of the following patches:
1) [PATCH 00/13] Add vfio_device cdev for iommufd support
   https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20230117134942.101112-1-yi.l.liu@intel.com/
2) (Merged) [PATCH v5 0/5] iommu: Retire detach_dev callback
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230110025408.667767-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
3) (Merged) [PATCH] selftests: iommu: Fix test_cmd_destroy_access() call in user_copy
