Ok, What I want is to get IOVA associated with a physical address (physical address of MSI-bank). And currently I do not see a way to know IOVA of a physical address and doing all this domain get and then search through all of iommu-windows of that domain. What if we add an iommu-API which can return the IOVA mapping of a physical address. Current use case is setting up MSI's for aperture type of IOMMU also getting a phys_to_iova() mapping is independent of VFIO, your thought?
