[PATCH v6 10/18] iommu/vt-d: Restore IOMMU state and reclaimed domain ids

From: Samiullah Khawaja

Date: Sat Oct 24 2026 - 22:25:20 EST


During boot fetch the preserved state of IOMMU unit and if found then
restore the state.

- Reuse the root_table that was preserved in the previous kernel.
- Reclaim the domain ids of the preserved domains for each preserved
devices so these are not acquired by another domain.
