I agree that the proposal looks reasonable (in terms of the ability to
describe the sort of topologies that we will face) but I still don't
understand what I need to do in e.g. my IOMMU driver to support this
binding whilst continuing to support the existing iommus binding, which
is relied upon to configure dma-mapping.

Mark: how do you see this co-existing/merging with the current bindings?
I don't think it's practical to throw away what we have and move over to
something totally different all in one go, but there clearly *is* benefit
in your proposal over the existing scheme.
