What I meant was, expose the type of whatever you put in there on the GPU
side so that the SMMU impl can install its function pointers into a field of
that structure. As far as I'm concerned, the SMMU impl code and the GPU
driver are the same entity and we should keep their communication private,
rather than expose it up the stack. After all, the GPU writes to the SMMU
registers!
If you really don't want to expose all of your gubbins, I suppose you
could have a structure just for the SMMU view and container_of() out of
that on the GPU side.
