This allows to handle domains differently based on their
type in the future. An IOMMU driver can implement certain
optimizations for DMA-API domains for example.

Hi Joerg,

Thanks for posting this!

What happens if somebody calls map or unmap on an identity-mapping domain?
Can we catch that in the IOMMU core before calling the IOMMU driver? That
also implies we need something extra to parameterise the attributes for
the mapping (e.g. cacheable, read-only) and also potentially the address
range.

We already have the domain attributes (iommu_attr) to describe features
of a domain. Is there really a need for this extra type, or can we extend
the attribute set and allow for domain allocation with attributes?

The domain type is only used by the IOMMU drivers to do be able to enter
special allocation paths (the AMD-Vi driver for example could allocate a
special internal domain type for IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA).
But I think you are right, a couple of the current domain attributes we
have could be moved here, turning the domain-type into a bit-field. So
we could have bits for PAGING, CACHABLE, DMA_API and NESTING and build
the domain types above from those bits.

I don't think that domains attributed will become obsolete with this
domain-type field. Some of the attributes should stay there for now,
like all the PAMU specific stuff. But I agree, some could be moved over.
