The new machine type allows smmuv3 instantiation. A new option
is introduced to turn the feature on/off (off by default).

Another alternative would be to use the -device option as
done on x86. As the smmu is a sysbus device, we would need to
use the platform bus framework. This would work fine
for the dt generation. However the feasibility needs to be
studied for ACPI table generation.

Should we go for default-on, or would that break guests?
For other things added to the virt board I think the
approach we've taken has been:
 * if this is just an extra device, simply provide it in the
   new virt-n.nn machine by default
 * if this is something that changes how the machine behaves
   even for code that doesn't care about that feature (eg
   EL2, EL3, since they change what mode you start in on boot)
   then default it to off
 * if the feature only works with TCG and not KVM then
   maybe default it to off

thanks

OK thanks for the guidelines. I put it off by default since it can
largely degrade the performance in some use cases. Also instantiating
the smmu can also induce some option changes at other levels: for
instance virtio-pci devices may be used along with iommu_platform option
for the guest to use dma ops.

Thanks
