The iommu core defines the def_domain_type callback to query the iommu driver about hardware capability and quirks. The iommu driver should declare IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA requirement for hardware lacking pass-through capability. Earlier VT-d hardware implementations did not support pass-through translation mode. The iommu driver relied on a paging domain with all physical system memory addresses identically mapped to the same IOVA to simulate pass-through translation before the def_domain_type was introduced and it has been kept until now. It's time to adjust it now to make the Intel iommu driver follow the def_domain_type semantics.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
