IOMMU domain users such as VFIO face a similar problem to DMA API ops with regard to mapping MSI messages in systems where the MSI write is subject to IOMMU translation. With the relevant infrastructure now in place for managed DMA domains, it's actually really simple for other users to piggyback off that and reap the benefits without giving up their own IOVA management, and without having to reinvent their own wheel in the MSI layer. Allow such users to opt into automatic MSI remapping by dedicating a region of their IOVA space to a managed cookie, and extend the mapping routine to implement a trivial linear allocator in such cases, to avoid the needless overhead of a full-blown IOVA domain.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
