Hi Paolo,

Thx for your review.

I think it should be “->notify” here. In this patchset, the new notifier
is registered with the existing notifier registration API. So the all the
notifiers are in the mr->iommu_notify list. And notifiers are labeled
by notify flag, so it is able to differentiate the IOMMUNotifier nodes.
When the flag meets, trigger it by “->notify”. The diagram below shows
my understanding , wish it helps to make me understood.

VFIOContainer
       |
       giommu_list(VFIOGuestIOMMU)
                \
                 VFIOGuestIOMMU1 ->   VFIOGuestIOMMU2 -> VFIOGuestIOMMU3 ...
                    |                     |                 |
mr->iommu_notify: IOMMUNotifier   ->    IOMMUNotifier  ->  IOMMUNotifier
                  (Flag:MAP/UNMAP)     (Flag:SVM bind)  (Flag:tlb invalidate)


Actually, compared with the MAP/UNMAP notifier, the newly added notifier has
no start/end check, and there may be other types of bind notfier flag in
future, so I added a separate fire func for SVM bind notifier.

Thanks,
Yi L
