An architecture may restrict host access to guest memory.

"e.g. IBM s390 Secure Execution or AMD SEV"

Just to make clearer what you are referring to?

yes, thanks



Provide a new Kconfig entry the architecture can select,
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_RESTRICTED_VIRTIO_MEMORY_ACCESS, when it provides
the arch_has_restricted_virtio_memory_access callback to advertise

s/advertise/advertise to/

OK


VIRTIO common code when the architecture restricts memory access
from the host.

"The common code can then fail the probe for any device where
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM is required, but not set."

?

Yes, better thanks
