iommu: Add support to change default domain of an iommu group
Presently, the default domain of an iommu group is allocated during boot time and it cannot be changed later. So, the device would typically be either in identity (also known as pass_through) mode or the device would be in DMA mode as long as the machine is up and running. There is no way to change the default domain type dynamically i.e. after booting, a device cannot switch between identity mode and DMA mode. But, assume a use case wherein the user trusts the device and believes that the OS is secure enough and hence wants *only* this device to bypass IOMMU (so that it could be high performing) whereas all the other devices to go through IOMMU (so that the system is protected). Presently, this use case is not supported. It will be helpful if there is some way to change the default domain of an iommu group dynamically. Hence, add such support. A privileged user could request the kernel to change the default domain type of a iommu group by writing to "/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/<grp_id>/type" file. Presently, only three values are supported 1. identity: all the DMA transactions from the device in this group are *not* translated by the iommu 2. DMA: all the DMA transactions from the device in this group are translated by the iommu 3. auto: change to the type the device was booted with Note: 1. Default domain of an iommu group with two or more devices cannot be changed. 2. The device in the iommu group shouldn't be bound to any driver. 3. The device shouldn't be assigned to user for direct access. 4. The change request will fail if any device in the group has a mandatory default domain type and the requested one conflicts with that. Please see "Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-iommu_groups" for more information.
