As Robin Murphy's suggestion:
"It's also not necessarily obvious to the user how this interacts with
IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH, so if we really do go down this route, maybe it
would be better to refactor the whole lot into a single selection of something
like IOMMU_DEFAULT_MODE anyway."

In this version, I tried to normalize the IOMMU dma mode boot options for all
ARCHs. When IOMMU is enabled, there are 3 dma modes: paasthrough(bypass),
lazy(mapping but defer the IOTLB invalidation), strict. But currently each
ARCHs defined their private boot options, different with each other. For
example, to enable/disable "passthrough", ARM64 use iommu.passthrough=1/0,
X86 use iommu=pt/nopt, PPC/POWERNV use iommu=nobypass.


Zhen Lei (6):
  iommu: use iommu.dma_mode to replace iommu.passthrough and
    iommu.strict
  iommu: keep dma mode build options consistent with cmdline options
  iommu: add iommu_default_dma_mode_get() helper
  s390/pci: use common boot option iommu.dma_mode
  powernv/iommu: use common boot option iommu.dma_mode
  x86/iommu: use common boot option iommu.dma_mode

This will break systems using boot options as now, and I think
this is unacceptable. If you want to do so, just introduce iommu.dma_mode
on top of those iommu boot options with dma mode boot options unchanged,
and iommu.dma_mode is for all archs but compatible with them.

Thanks
Hanjun

I just changed the boot options name, but keep the function no change. I added
all related maintainers/supporters in the "to=" list, maybe we can disuss this.
Should I add some "obsoleted" warnings for old options and keep them for a while?
But I think this kind of thing is best done in one go.

Changing the name _IS_ the problem. Think about unattended updates.

No, just keep the old options around for backwards compatibilty sake. We
just do not add new arch specific options in the future. New options need
to use the generic iommu.dma_mode name space.

OK, thanks for your advise.
