[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] intel_iommu: check misordered init when realize

[Peter Xu]

Intel vIOMMU devices are created with "-device" parameter, while here
actually we need to make sure the dmar device be created before other
PCI devices (like vfio-pci, virtio-pci ones) so that we know iommu_fn
will be setup correctly before realizations of those PCI devices (it is
legal that PCI device fetch these info during its realization). Now this
ordering yet cannot be achieved elsewhere, and devices will be created
in the order that user specified. We need to avoid that.

This patch tries to detect this kind of misordering issue during init of
VT-d device, then report to guest if misordering happened. In the
future, we can provide something better to solve it, e.g., to support
device init ordering, then we can live without this patch.

v3: added virtio-pci device detection since we have that requirement as
    well now.

PS. this patch should be needed along with Jason's:
 "virtio: unbreak virtio-pci with IOMMU after caching ring translations"
to make sure virtio devices with vt-d are safe for 2.9.
