When Shared Virtual Address (SVA) is enabled for a guest OS via vIOMMU, we need to provide invalidation support at IOMMU API and driver level. This patch adds Intel VT-d specific function to implement iommu passdown invalidate API for shared virtual address. The use case is for supporting caching structure invalidation of assigned SVM capable devices. Emulated IOMMU exposes queue invalidation capability and passes down all descriptors from the guest to the physical IOMMU. The assumption is that guest to host device ID mapping should be resolved prior to calling IOMMU driver. Based on the device handle, host IOMMU driver can replace certain fields before submit to the invalidation queue.

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.
