The NPU IOMMU is setup to mirror the parent PCIe device IOMMU setup. Therefore it does not make sense to call dma operations such as dma_map_page(), etc. directly on these devices. The existing dma_ops simply print a warning if they are ever called, however this is unnecessary and the warnings are likely to go unnoticed. It is instead simpler to remove these operations and let the generic DMA code print warnings (eg. via a NULL pointer deref) in cases of buggy drivers attempting dma operations on NVLink devices.

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.
