Ohh okay, I see.. I thought we were describing the HW.

Yes, that helps, thanks!

I get that, it's for vSID -> pSID mapping which also "happens to" point
to the vintf.. all I wanted to say was that the description is unclear..
We could've described it as "Vintf SID map" or something, but I guess
it's fine the way it is too.. your call.

I see. Thanks!

Nah, that's okay, I was just curious.

I get that.. but I see we're using `arm_vsmmu_cache_invalidate` here
from arm-smmu-v3-iommufd.c which seems to issue all commands to
smmu->cmdq as of now (the code has a FIXME as well), per the code:

	/* FIXME always uses the main cmdq rather than trying to group by type */
        ret = arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmdlist(smmu, &smmu->cmdq, last->cmd,
					  cur - last, true);

I was hoping this FIXME to be addressed in this series..

Umm.. I was talking about the cache_invalidate op? I think there's some
misunderstanding here? What am I missing?
