TTBR1 is very much an Arm VMSA-specific term; if the concept of a split address space is useful in general, is it worth trying to frame it in general terms? AFAICS other IOMMU drivers could achieve the same effect fairly straightforwardly by simply copying the top-level "global" entries across whenever they switch "private" tables.

FWIW even for SMMU there could potentially be cases with Arm Ltd. IP where the SoC vendor implements a stage-2-only configuration in their media subsystem, because they care most about minimising area and stage-1-only isn't an option.
