SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/4 v5] iommu/fsl: Add iommu domain attributes required by fsl PAMU driver.
Hmm, we need to work out a good abstraction for this.

Are the Subwindows mapped with full size or do you map only parts of the
subwindows?

This semantic is ugly, how about a feature detection mechanism?

When you add implementation specific attributes please add some
indication to the names that it is only for PAMU. DOMAIN_ATTR_STASH
sounds too generic.
