Let's refuse a VIRTIO device which does not use IOMMU
protected access.

I wonder whether we need move it to virtio core instead of ccw.

I think the other memory protection technologies may suffer from this as well.

Thanks



What would you think of the following, also taking into account Connie's comment on where the test should be done:

- declare a weak function in virtio.c code, returning that memory protection is not in use.

- overwrite the function in the arch code

- call this function inside core virtio_finalize_features() and if required fail if the device don't have VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.

Alternative could be to test a global variable that the architecture would overwrite if needed but I find the weak function solution more flexible.

With a function, we also have the possibility to provide the device as argument and take actions depending it, this may answer Halil's concern.

Regards,
Pierre
