[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] intel_iommu: do address space switching when reset

[Peter Xu]

We will drop all the mappings when system reset, however we'll still
keep the existing memory layouts.  That'll be problematic since if IOMMU
is enabled in the guest and then reboot the guest, SeaBIOS will try to
drive a device that with no page mapped there.  What we need to do is to
rebuild the GPA->HPA mapping when system resets, hence ease SeaBIOS.

Without this patch, a guest that boots on an assigned NVMe device might
fail to find the boot device after a system reboot/reset and we'll be
able to observe SeaBIOS errors if turned on:

  WARNING - Timeout at nvme_wait:144!

With the patch applied, the guest will be able to find the NVMe drive
and bootstrap there even after multiple reboots or system resets.
