[PATCH v8 10/25] iommu/arm-smmu-v3-kvm: Add SMMUv3 driver

From: Mostafa Saleh

Date: Tue Sep 22 2026 - 09:16:01 EST


From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add the skeleton for an Arm SMMUv3 driver at EL2.

The driver rely on an array of SMMUv3s on the system, where at
init it will donate the array and the resources of the SMMUv3s
so they can't be changed by the host after de-privilege.

This array will be populated in the next patch.

+ Enable a SMMUv3 driver in the KVM hypervisor, to protect VMs against

+ This works along side ARM_SMMU_V3 where the kernel driver manages the
