So, in the meantime, I've also done a version of Eduard's earlier
patches, with added support for the PAPR hypervisor managed IOMMU.
I have also significantly reworked how the structure lookup works,
partly because in my case I'l looking at IOMMU translation for non-PCI
devices, but I think it may also address your concerns. I'm still
using upcasts, but there are less steps from the device to the IOMMU
state.
I've been sick and haven't had a chance to merge my stuff with
Eduard's changes. I'll post them anyway, as another discussion
point.
