Add a qtest suite that validates ARM SMMUv3 translation without guest
firmware or OS. The tests leverage iommu-testdev to trigger DMA
operations and the qos-smmuv3 library to configure IOMMU translation
structures.

This test suite targets the virt machine and covers:
- Stage 1 only translation (VA -> PA via CD page tables)
- Stage 2 only translation (IPA -> PA via STE S2 tables)
- Nested translation (VA -> IPA -> PA, Stage 1 + Stage 2)
- Design to extended to support multiple security spaces
     (Non-Secure, Secure, Root, Realm)

Each test case follows this sequence:
1. Initialize SMMUv3 with appropriate command/event queues
2. Build translation tables (STE/CD/PTE) for the target scenario
3. Configure iommu-testdev with IOVA and DMA attributes via MMIO
4. Trigger DMA and validate successful translation
5. Verify data integrity through a deterministic write-read pattern

This bare-metal approach provides deterministic IOMMU testing with
minimal dependencies, making failures directly attributable to the SMMU
translation path.

`QSMMU_IOVA_OR_IPA` was intended to represent the address that is seen as the *input* to the SMMU in the test. In other words:

    - for the S1-only and nested cases, this value is used as the IOVA, and
    - for the S2-only case, the same numeric value is used as the IPA.

So conceptually it is “the address fed into the IOMMU”, and the actual interpretation depends on `trans_mode`.

I agree the name `IOVA_OR_IPA` is confusing and does not make this model very clear.


Maybe we could use `QSMMU_DMA_INPUT_ADDR`  instead?


Thanks for catching this.

Tao
