Right, but in this case we're talking about device MMUs, which are owned
by the device driver which I think is running in dom0, right?  This
proposal doesn't require support of the system IOMMU, the dom0 driver
maps IOVA translations just as it would for itself.  We're largely
proposing use of the VFIO API to provide a common interface to expose a
PCI(e) device to QEMU, but what happens in the vGPU vendor device and
IOMMU backends is specific to the device and perhaps even specific to
the hypervisor.  Thanks,

Alex
