Technically, we can keep the incremental API

What will be the trigger for the driver to know it received the last mapping on this series and it can now push it to the on-chip IOMMU?
Some kind of invalidate API?
The problem is how to deal with the case of vIOMMU. When vIOMMU is enabling
there's no concept of last mapping.
Thanks
Most IOMMUs have a translation cache so have an invalidate API too.
Ok, then I get you.
But in this case, when vIOMMU is enabled, each new map became a "last
mapping".
Thanks
