While I am respinning this series into v4, here is a tentative summary
of technical topics for which no consensus was reached at this point.

1) Shall we report the usable IOVA range instead of reserved IOVA
   ranges. Not discussed at/after LPC.
   x I currently report reserved regions. Alex expressed the need to
     report the full usable IOVA range instead (x86 min-max range
     minus MSI APIC window). I think this is meaningful for ARM
     too where arm-smmu might not support the full 64b range.
   x Any objection we report the usable IOVA regions instead?

2) Shall the kernel check collision with MSI window* when userspace
   calls VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA?
   Joerg/Will No; Alex yes
   *for IOVA regions consumed downstream to the IOMMU: everyone says NO

3) RMRR reporting in the iommu group sysfs? Joerg: yes; Don: no
   My current series does not expose them in iommu group sysfs.
   I understand we can expose the RMRR regions in the iomm group sysfs
   without necessarily supporting RMRR requiring device assignment.
   We can also add this support later.

Thanks

Eric
