[PATCH v1 5/8] iommu: Let a driver mark an IOMMU as confidential
From: Nicolin Chen
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 23:37:26 EST
An IOMMU inside a confidential VM needs private memory for its queues and
tables. Later changes also need to identify it when handling TDISP devices.
Add a confidential marker and a helper for IOMMU drivers. The helper also
marks the IOMMU device as able to access private memory. Drivers must call
it before iommu_device_register().
