To work around MMU-700 erratum 2812531 we need to ensure that certain sequences of commands cannot be issued without an intervening sync. In practice this falls out of our current command-batching machinery anyway - each batch only contains a single type of invalidation command, and ends with a sync. The only exception is when a batch is sufficiently large to need issuing across multiple command queue slots, wherein the earlier slots will not contain a sync and thus may in theory interleave with another batch being issued in parallel to create an affected sequence across the slot boundary. Since MMU-700 supports range invalidate commands and thus we will prefer to use them (which also happens to avoid conditions for other errata), I'm not entirely sure it's even possible for a single high-level invalidate call to generate a batch of more than 63 commands, but for the sake of robustness and documentation, wire up an option to enforce that a sync is always inserted for every slot issued. The other aspect is that the relative order of DVM commands cannot be controlled, so DVM cannot be used. Again that is already the status quo, but since we have at least defined ARM_SMMU_FEAT_BTM, we can explicitly disable it for documentation purposes even if it's not wired up anywhere yet.

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.
