IMHO we shouldn't try to over think this. The overall point is to give the userspace a place to inject policy. Bus drivers should try as hard as they can to contain their child devices. Like PCIE should activate the iommu, disable ATS. USB should limit the messages it exchanges, and so on. When userspace accepts the bus driver it also accepts its containment capability. So if it accepts one that uses gpio, etc then that's fine. We are not the point of trying to describe what threat models various kernel drivers can support. Userspace has to figure that out on their own. Jason
