How about below description?

PCIe endpoints can use ATS to request DMA remapping hardware to
translate an IOVA to its mapped physical address. If the translation is
missing or the permissions are insufficient, the PRI is used to trigger
an I/O page fault. The IOMMU driver will fill the mapping with desired
permissions and return the translated address to the device.

The translated address is specified by the IOMMU driver. The IOMMU
driver ensures that the address is a DMA buffer address instead of any
P2P address in the PCI fabric. Therefore, any translated memory request
will eventually be routed to IOMMU regardless of whether there is ACS
control in the up-streaming path.

AMD GPU is one of those devices. Furthermore, it always uses translated
memory requests for PASID.

I will drop above from the commit message.

The code reads,

2052         if (iommu_feature(iommu, FEATURE_GT) &&
2053             iommu_feature(iommu, FEATURE_PPR)) {
2054                 iommu->is_iommu_v2   = true;

So, how about

..The AMD GPU has a private interface to its own AMD IOMMU, which could
be detected by the FEATURE_GT && FEATURE_PPR features. The AMD iommu
driver allocates a special domain for the GPU device ..

?
