You should look at how arm smmuv3 ended up after I went over it to
make similar changes, I think you should take this patch

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20-v1-afbb86647bbd+5-smmuv3_newapi_p2_jgg@xxxxxxxxxx/

into this series (maybe drop the arm part)

And copy the same basic structure for how the mmu notifier works.

It would also be nice if alot of the 'if_sva' tests could be avoided,
smmu didn't end up with those..

In the guts of the pasid handling sva shouldn't be special beyond a
different source for the pgd.
