I see your concern. I will take a closer look and see if we can
add to the initial version of arm_smmu_cache_invalidate_user().
Otherwise, we can add later.

Btw, VT-d seems to want the error_code and reports in the VT-d
specific invalidate entry structure, as Kevin and Yi had that
discussion in the other side of the thread.
