Hello, Robin! Thank you for yours work!

Some drivers, like this Tegra VDE (Video Decoder Engine) driver for
example, do not want to use implicit IOMMU domain. Tegra VDE driver
relies on explicit IOMMU domain in a case of Tegra SMMU because VDE
hardware can't access last page of the AS and because driver wants to
reserve some fixed addresses [1].

Tegra30 SoC supports up to 4 domains, hence it's not possible to afford
wasting unused implicit domains. I think this needs to be addressed
before this patch could be applied.

Would it be possible for IOMMU drivers to gain support for filtering out
devices in iommu_domain_alloc(dev, type)? Then perhaps Tegra SMMU driver
could simply return NULL in a case of type=IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA and
dev=tegra-vde.

Alternatively, the Tegra SMMU could be changed such that the devices
will be attached to a domain at the time of a first IOMMU mapping
invocation instead of attaching at the time of attach_dev() callback
invocation.

Or maybe even IOMMU core could be changed to attach devices at the time
of the first IOMMU mapping invocation? This could be a universal
solution for all drivers.
