Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] iommu/vt-d: Convert to use static identity domain
Intel's IOMMU driver used a special domain called 1:1 mapping domain to
support the domain of type IOMMU_DOMAIN_IDENTITY, which enables device
drivers to directly utilize physical addresses for DMA access despite
the presence of IOMMU units.
The implementation of the 1:1 mapping domain is influenced by hardware
differences. While modern Intel VT-d implementations support hardware
passthrough translation mode, earlier versions lacked this feature,
which requires a more complex implementation approach.
The 1:1 mapping domain for earlier hardware was implemented by associating
a DMA domain with an IOVA (IO Virtual Address) equivalent to the
physical address. While, for most hardware supporting passthrough mode,
simply setting the hardware's passthrough mode is sufficient. These two
modes were merged together in si_domain, which is a special DMA domain
sharing the domain ops of an ordinary DMA domain.
As the iommu core has evolved, it has introduced global static identity
domain with "never fail" attach semantics. This means that the domain is
always available and cannot fail to attach. The iommu driver now assigns
this domain directly at iommu_ops->identity_domain instead of allocating
it through the domain allocation interface.
This converts the Intel IOMMU driver to embrace the global static
identity domain. For early legacy hardwares that don't support
passthrough translation mode, ask the iommu core to use a DMA type of
default domain. For modern hardwares that support passthrough
translation mode, implement a static global identity domain.

Change log:
v3:
- Kevin worried that some graphic devices might still require identity
domain. Forcing DMA domain for those drivers might break the existing
functionality.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/BN9PR11MB52761FF9AB496B422596DDDF8C8AA@BN9PR11MB5276.namprd11.prod.outlook.com/
After confirmed with the graphic community, we decouple "igfx_off"
kernel command from graphic identity mapping with the following commits:
ba00196ca41c ("iommu/vt-d: Decouple igfx_off from graphic identity mapping")
4b8d18c0c986 ("iommu/vt-d: Remove INTEL_IOMMU_BROKEN_GFX_WA").
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20231205012203.244584-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
- Re-orgnize the patches by removing 1:1 mappings before implementing
global static domain.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20231120112944.142741-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
