Connect the IOAS to its IOCTL interface. This exposes most of the functionality in the io_pagetable to userspace. This is intended to be the core of the generic interface that IOMMUFD will provide. Every IOMMU driver should be able to implement an iommu_domain that is compatible with this generic mechanism. It is also designed to be easy to use for simple non virtual machine monitor users, like DPDK: - Universal simple support for all IOMMUs (no PPC special path) - An IOVA allocator that considers the aperture and the allowed/reserved ranges - io_pagetable allows any number of iommu_domains to be connected to the IOAS - Automatic allocation and re-use of iommu_domains Along with room in the design to add non-generic features to cater to specific HW functionality.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
