When supporting guest SVA with emulated IOMMU, the guest PASID
table is shadowed in VMM. Updates to guest vIOMMU PASID table
will result in PASID cache flush which will be passed down to
the host as bind guest PASID calls.

For the SL page tables, it will be harvested from device's
default domain (request w/o PASID), or aux domain in case of
mediated device.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
