Applied the SMMU bits to arm64 (for-next/iommu/arm-smmu), thanks!

[3/9] iommu/arm-smmu: Add support for pagetable config domain attribute

[4/9] iommu/arm-smmu: Move non-strict mode to use io_pgtable_domain_attr
https://git.kernel.org/arm64/c/12bc36793fd6

[8/9] iommu: arm-smmu-impl: Use table to list QCOM implementations
https://git.kernel.org/arm64/c/00597f9ff5ec
[9/9] iommu: arm-smmu-impl: Add a space before open parenthesis
