Legacy virtio devices always bypassed an IOMMU, so using them with vfio was never safe. This adds a quirk detecting these and disabling VFIO unless the noiommu mode is used. At the moment, this only applies to virtio-pci devices. The patch might make sense on stable as well. Michael S. Tsirkin (2): vfio: report group noiommu status vfio: add virtio pci quirk...

This is an attempt to allow enabling IOMMU for DMA. Design: - new feature bit IOMMU_PLATFORM which means host won't bypass IOMMU - virtio core uses DMA API if it sees IOMMU_PLATFORM - add quirk for vfio to disable device unless IOMMU_PLATFORM is set or the no-iommu mode is enabled - while I'm not sure how it will be used, it seems like a good idea to also have ability to distinguish between a legacy device and one where iommu is bypassed intentionally. To this end, add anothe...
