I can do that. If I make it so, it won't even look as a device at all, just
some weird interface to KVM but ok. What bothers me is it is just a
question what I will have to do next. Because I can easily predict a
suggestion to move kvmppc_spapr_tce_table's (a links list) from
kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables to that device but I cannot do that for obvious
compatibility reasons caused by the fact that the list is already used for
emulated devices (for the starter - they need mmap()).
Or supporting all IOMMU links (and leaving emulated stuff as is) in on
"device" is the last thing I have to do and then you'll ack the patch?

Yes, I read the other comment. So roughly speaking I'll replace the
KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU check with the KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL capability check
+ try to KVM_CREATE_DEVICE with the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE_TEST flag set, and we
are fine.

Yep, I'll fix this. Thanks.
