I also considered it before sending out this series. It is necessary under previous naming(the new notifier was planned to be name as IOMMUNotifier). However, it is not necessary now since notifier can be SVANotifier. But the changes in this patch still have some benefit. e.g. much clear on the naming since existing iommu notifier is actually IOMMU MR based. So I didn't remove it from this series. I plan to remove it in next version as it is not necessary for this series now. Even we need it, it can be done in other series. How about your opinion?
