[RFC PATCHES 02/17] iommu: Support asynchronous I/O page fault response

From: Lu Baolu
Date: Tue May 30 2023 - 01:38:39 EST


Add a new page response code, IOMMU_PAGE_RESP_ASYNC, to indicate that the
domain's page fault handler doesn't respond the hardware immediately, but
do it in an asynchronous way.

The use case of this response code is the nested translation, where the
first-stage page table is owned by the VM guest and any page fault on
it should be propagated to the VM guest and page fault will be responded
in a different thread context later.
