Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 02/13] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Add smmu_s1_cfg to smmu_master

Awesome that helps a lot. These are the patches I have in mind:

1. Move ctx_desc out of s1_cfg
2. Replace domain->s1_cfg with `struct arm_smmu_ctx_desc_cfg cd_table`
3. Move stall_enabled from domain to arm_smmu_ctx_desc_cfg
4. Accept an arm_smmu_master instead of an arm_smmu_domain as the
parameter for arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc
--- arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc can simply get the cd_table it writes to
from master->domain->cd_table; this get's replaced by master->cd_table
in subsequent commits.
--- SVA is weird if we cut changes here: it iterates over all masters
a domain is attached to in order to call arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc(),
which ends up writing to the shared cd_table since in master->domain.
This becomes more sensible once masters stop sharing the cd _table in
subsequent commits.
--- arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc is used to sync the cd for all masters the
domain was attached to. Now that SVA is calling it in a loop, and to
break the dependency on arm_smmu_domain, we should only sync for the
master passed in as the parameter
5. Introduce a skip_cd_sync parameter to arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc so
that arm_smmu_domain_finalise_s1 can skip the sync_cd before the
cd_table is attached to the master. Before the previous commit,
arm_smmu_domain_finalise_s1 was calling arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc()
before adding the master to the domain->devices list, which was used
by arm_sync_smmu() to issue sync commands to masters. This
optimization was broken by the previous commit since we stopped
depending on domain->devices.
6. Move cd_table from domain to arm_smmu_master->cd_table.
