Because we don't necessarily want to invalidate all PASID-domains
attached to a master. If arm_smmu_atc_inv_domain() is called on a
domain that is only attached with Pasid, we can restrict the
invalidations to those specific PASID by looping over them. But yeah,
you're right that we could potentially optimize this?
* Skip the per-pasid invalidations if the domain is also attached to
this master without PASID as we have to invalidate all its pasids in
that case anyways. It's hard to imagine clients attaching a domain
both with pasid and without pasid to the same device but could be
possible.
* Always invalidate all pasids by issuing atc invalidations on SSID 0.
This sounds like the wrong trade-off??
