Oops, will fix it. Thanks for pointing out.

Not other than this one. But in the proposed implementation of
platform_override_dma_ops on powerpc, we will again check on
virtio_has_iommu_quirk before overriding it with SWIOTLB.

void platform_override_dma_ops(struct virtio_device *vdev)
{
        if (is_ultravisor_platform() && virtio_has_iommu_quirk(vdev))
                set_dma_ops(vdev->dev.parent, &swiotlb_dma_ops);
}

Did you mean platform_override_dma_ops instead ? If so, yes that
is possible. Default implementation of platform_override_dma_ops
should just check on VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM feature and override
with virtio_direct_dma_ops but arch implementation can check on
what ever else they would like and override appropriately.

Default platform_override_dma_ops will be like this

#ifndef platform_override_dma_ops
static inline void platform_override_dma_ops(struct virtio_device *vdev)
{
	if(!virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM))
		set_dma_ops(dev->dev.parent, &virtio_direct_dma_ops);
}
#endif

Proposed powerpc implementation will be like this instead

void platform_override_dma_ops(struct virtio_device *vdev)
{
	if (virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM))
		return;

        if (is_ultravisor_platform())
                set_dma_ops(vdev->dev.parent, &swiotlb_dma_ops);
	else
		set_dma_ops(dev->dev.parent, &virtio_direct_dma_ops);
	
}

There is a redundant definition of virtio_has_iommu_quirk in the tools
directory (tools/virtio/linux/virtio_config.h) which does not seem to
be used any where. I guess that can be removed without problem.
