I have to admit - no, I haven't. I was thinking that Xen specific 
feature should be communicated using Xen specific DT property.

I assume, you are speaking about something like the following?


xen_dummy_iommu {
    compatible = "xen,dummy-iommu";
    #iommu-cells = <1>;
};

virtio@3000 {
    compatible = "virtio,mmio";
    reg = <0x3000 0x100>;
    interrupts = <41>;

    /* The device is located in Xen domain with ID 1 */
    iommus = <&xen_dummy_iommu 1>;
};

yes (# 3/7 adds grant-table based allocator)

Interesting idea. I am wondering, do we need an extra actions for this 
to work in Linux guest (dummy IOMMU driver, etc)?
