> At the top this is a simple interval tree of iopt_areas indicating the map
> of IOVA to iopt_pages. An xarray keeps track of a list of domains. Based
> on the attached domains there is a minimum alignment for areas (which may
> be smaller than PAGE_SIZE), an interval tree of reserved IOVA that can't
> be mapped and an IOVA of allowed IOVA that can always be mappable.

> The concept of an 'access' refers to something like a VFIO mdev that is

> Externally an API is provided that matches the requirements of the IOCTL
> interface for map/unmap and domain attachment.

> The API provides a 'copy' primitive to establish a new IOVA map in a
> different IOAS from an existing mapping by re-using the iopt_pages. This
> is the basic mechanism to provide single pinning.

> This is designed to support a pre-registration flow where userspace would
> setup an dummy IOAS with no domains, map in memory and then establish
> an
> access to pin all PFNs into the xarray.
> 
> Copy can then be used to create new IOVA mappings in a different IOAS,
> with iommu_domains attached. Upon copy the PFNs will be read out of the
> xarray and mapped into the iommu_domains, avoiding any pin_user_pages()
> overheads.
