This adds the APIs for bounce buffer specified domain

be mapped with bounce buffered pages instead. This will
enhance the security of DMA buffer by isolating the DMA
attacks from malicious devices.

Please reuse the swiotlb code instead of reinventing it.


Just looked into the code again. At least we could reuse below
functions:

swiotlb_tbl_map_single()
swiotlb_tbl_unmap_single()
swiotlb_tbl_sync_single()

Anything else?

Yes, that is probably about the level you want to reuse, given that the
next higher layer already has hooks into the direct mapping code.


Okay. Thank you!

I will try to make this happen in v2.
