Ok, there are several things we need for ppc. None of which are
inherently ppc specific and some of which will I think be useful for
most platforms. So, starting from most general to most specific
here's basically what's needed:

1. We need to represent the fact that the IOMMU can only translate
*some* IOVAs, not a full 64-bit range. You have the addr_width
already, but I'm entirely sure if the translatable range on ppc
(or other platforms) is always a power-of-2 size. It usually will
be, of course, but I'm not sure that's a hard requirement. So
using a size/max rather than just a number of bits might be safer.

I think basically every platform will need this. Most platforms
don't actually implement full 64-bit translation in any case, but
rather some smaller number of bits that fits their page table
format.

2. The translatable range of IOVAs may not begin at 0. So we need to
advertise to userspace what the base address is, as well as the
size. POWER's main IOVA range begins at 2^59 (at least on the
models I know about).

I think a number of platforms are likely to want this, though I
couldn't name them apart from POWER. Putting the translated IOVA
window at some huge address is a pretty obvious approach to making
an IOMMU which can translate a wide address range without colliding
with any legacy PCI addresses down low (the IOMMU can check if this
transaction is for it by just looking at some high bits in the
address).

3. There might be multiple translatable ranges. So, on POWER the
IOMMU can typically translate IOVAs from 0..2GiB, and also from
2^59..2^59+<RAM size>. The two ranges have completely separate IO
page tables, with (usually) different layouts. (The low range will
nearly always be a single-level page table with 4kiB or 64kiB
entries, the high one will be multiple levels depending on the size
of the range and pagesize).

This may be less common, but I suspect POWER won't be the only
platform to do something like this. As above, using a high range
is a pretty obvious approach, but clearly won't handle older
devices which can't do 64-bit DMA. So adding a smaller range for
those devices is again a pretty obvious solution. Any platform
with an "IO hole" can be treated as having two ranges, one below
the hole and one above it (although in that case they may well not
have separate page tables

4. The translatable ranges might not be fixed. On ppc that 0..2GiB
and 2^59..whatever ranges are kernel conventions, not specified by
the hardware or firmware. When running as a guest (which is the
normal case on POWER), there are explicit hypercalls for
configuring the allowed IOVA windows (along with pagesize, number
of levels etc.). At the moment it is fixed in hardware that there
are only 2 windows, one starting at 0 and one at 2^59 but there's
no inherent reason those couldn't also be configurable.

This will probably be rarer, but I wouldn't be surprised if it
appears on another platform. If you were designing an IOMMU ASIC
for use in a variety of platforms, making the base address and size
of the translatable range(s) configurable in registers would make
sense.


Now, for (3) and (4), representing lists of windows explicitly in
ioctl()s is likely to be pretty ugly. We might be able to avoid that,
for at least some of the interfaces, by using the nested IOAS stuff.
One way or another, though, the IOASes which are actually attached to
devices need to represent both windows.

e.g.
Create a "top-level" IOAS <A> representing the device's view. This
would be either TYPE_KERNEL or maybe a special type. Into that you'd
make just two iomappings one for each of the translation windows,
pointing to IOASes <B> and <C>. IOAS <B> and <C> would have a single
window, and would represent the IO page tables for each of the
translation windows. These could be either TYPE_KERNEL or (say)
TYPE_POWER_TCE for a user managed table. Well.. in theory, anyway.
The way paravirtualization on POWER is done might mean user managed
tables aren't really possible for other reasons, but that's not
relevant here.

The next problem here is that we don't want userspace to have to do
different things for POWER, at least not for the easy case of a
userspace driver that just wants a chunk of IOVA space and doesn't
really care where it is.

In general I think the right approach to handle that is to
de-emphasize "info" or "query" interfaces. We'll probably still need
some for debugging and edge cases, but in the normal case userspace
should just specify what it *needs* and (ideally) no more with
optional hints, and the kernel will either supply that or fail.

e.g. A simple userspace driver would simply say "I need an IOAS with
at least 1GiB of IOVA space" and the kernel says "Ok, you can use
2^59..2^59+2GiB". qemu, emulating the POWER vIOMMU might say "I need
an IOAS with translatable addresses from 0..2GiB with 4kiB page size
and from 2^59..2^59+1TiB with 64kiB page size" and the kernel would
either say "ok", or "I can't do that".
