Hi Robin,

Thanks for your update patch I will include it in my next version. But
I'm sorry I do not understand, is your modification an addition or a
substitution to your original patch?

Apologies for being confusing - that was a diff on top of the existing patch, to be folded in. My original patch was only handling IOMMU_MMIO for stage 2 PTEs, so we also need the extra code to handle the different way of setting the appropriate memory type in stage 1 PTEs.

Robin.

On some platforms, MMIO regions might need slightly different treatment
compared to mapping regular memory; add the notion of MMIO mappings to
the IOMMU API's memory type flags, so that callers can let the IOMMU
drivers know to do the right thing.

Answering the question from the cover letter, yes, it's totally fine to pick
the ack, that's actually expected.

You might be asked to split this patch in two.

Worse than that, you might also be asked to fix it up when the silly author
remembers that he did this on a stage-2-only ARM SMMU, and the attributes
for the stage 1 tables that the IPMMU uses are in a different code path:

Sorry for the bother,
