Yes, the SMMU driver calls into the memory management code.

This patch implements the fault handling part:
(1) A PRI Page Request (PPR) is received by arm_smmu_handle_ppr. It is
forwarded to work queue fault_queue
(2) The PPR is handled by arm_smmu_handle_fault, which calls
_arm_smmu_handle_fault, which calls arm_smmu_handle_mm_fault and
finally handle_mm_fault.
(3) We send a response via arm_smmu_fault_reply
Thanks,
Jean-Philippe
