I have successfully integrated the 4.0 change into my 3.4.1 test system. The changes works as expected so long as the I/O is serviced via a copy from memory owned by the device domain. However, iommu mappings are not updated for HVM grant table updates so it is not possible to use DMA. I am experimenting with changes to update the iommu for p2m_grant_map* types but wonder is some overarching architectural consideration I'm missing that would explain why the iommu was not updated in the original
changes?
