A question is what if the context cache was invalidated but the device were
not moved to a new domain. Then the code here does not do anything I
believe?
Yes, it'll unmap all the stuffs and remap them all. I think that's my
intention, and can we really avoid this?

I think we should move vtd_address_space_unmap() in the context
entry invalidation processing.
IMHO we need this "whole umap" thing not only for context entry
invalidation, but all the places that need this replay, no? For
example, when we receive domain flush.

Thanks,

Consider the case that we move device from domain A to no domain. Looks like current code did nothing since it can not get a valid context entry during replay?

Thanks
