IOMMU_HW_INFO_TYPE_TEGRA241_CMDQV only reports CMDQV structure.
VMM still needs to poll the IOMMU_HW_INFO_TYPE_ARM_SMMUV3. It's
basically working as "type being an extension".

I can change this thought:

+ * @IOMMU_VIOMMU_TYPE_TEGRA241_CMDQV: NVIDIA Tegra241 CMDQV (extension for ARM
+ * SMMUv3) enabled ARM SMMUv3 type

No. It's for vSID to pSID mappings. I had it explained in commit log:

For ATC invalidation commands that hold an SID, it requires all devices to
register their virtual SIDs to the SID_MATCH registers and their physical
SIDs to the pairing SID_REPLACE registers, so that HW can use those as a
lookup table to replace those virtual SIDs with the correct physical SIDs.
Thus, implement the driver-allocated vDEVICE op with a tegra241_vintf_sid
structure to allocate SID_REPLACE and to program the SIDs accordingly.

The main CMDQ exists regardless whether CMDQV extension is there or
not. The CMD_SYNC can be issued to any (v)CMDQ. The smmu->cmdq is
just the easiest one to use here.

I can take it off.

The driver does not reset HW when tearing down a VM, but only sets
VINTF's enable bit to 0. So, it should just set other configuration
bits to 0 as well.

VCMDQ only accelerates invalidation commands.

That is for non-invalidation commands that VCMDQ doesn't support,
so they still have to go in the standard nesting pathway.

Let's add a line:
/* for non-invalidation commands use */
