Completely agree. The arm_smmu_atc_inv_domain_ssid function introduced
by this patch is a stopgap to decompose this patch from the SVA
refactor that's required to stop using ssid in these calls.
I also agree that such a refactoring probably belongs in the same
patch series. @Jean-Philippe Brucker and others: is there any way I
can about testing or at least exercising the SVA flow without physical
hardware that supports SVA?
