TTBR1 is very much an Arm VMSA-specific term; if the concept of a split 
address space is useful in general, is it worth trying to frame it in 
general terms? AFAICS other IOMMU drivers could achieve the same effect 
fairly straightforwardly by simply copying the top-level "global" 
entries across whenever they switch "private" tables.


FWIW even for SMMU there could potentially be cases with Arm Ltd. IP 
where the SoC vendor implements a stage-2-only configuration in their 
media subsystem, because they care most about minimising area and 
stage-1-only isn't an option.

[PATCH 01/14] iommu: Add DOMAIN_ATTR_ENABLE_TTBR1

[Jordan Crouse]

Add a new domain attribute to enable the TTBR1 pagetable for drivers
and devices that support it.  This will enabled using a TTBR1 (otherwise
known as a "global" or "system" pagetable for devices that support a split
pagetable scheme for switching pagetables quickly and safely.
