I like the general idea of this, but the above is a terrible name for a kernel commandline-parameter. The x86 iommus support iommu=pt which is pretty much the same as this patch does. How about something like "iommu.passthrough=0/1"? And please add the parameter to the kernel documentation too.

Indeed, I was keen on making "iommu=pt" also do this default domain switch itself so we wouldn't need a new option - it didn't *appear* that that would break the AMD driver (as the only other default domain user supporting identity domains) but I may have overlooked something.

Sure, if you think that the identity domain is the only thing we'll ever want to set (so far, it's the only thing people have asked me for).

The IOMMU core currently initialises the default domain for each group to IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA, under the assumption that devices will use IOMMU-backed DMA ops by default. However, in some cases it is desirable for the DMA ops to bypass the IOMMU for performance reasons, reserving use of translation for subsystems such as VFIO that require it for enforcing device isolation. Rather than modify each IOMMU driver to provide different semantics for DMA domains, instead we introduce a command line parameter that can be used to change the type of the default domain. Passthrough can then be specified using "iommu.default_domain=identity" on the kernel command line.
