So, whilst it's great that you're looking at the code, I'm not very keen on merging anything until we have people committed to using it. Right now, the only feedback I've had has been going in the para-virt direction and I don't think we should do this "for fun". > I have a question about the KVM_DEV_ARM_SMMU_V2_CFG_INIT call.

I hacked something into kvmtool when I was playing with this before: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/will/kvmtool.git/commit/?h=kvmtool/vfio Will _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
