Hi Jean,

Is there a use-case for calling the same handler from both contexts?

This all certainly makes sense for the PRI/PASID case, but I don't think
that it makes sense yet to extend the existing report_iommu_fault()
interface to also handle PASID/PPR faults.

The later needs a lot more parameters to successfully handle a fault. In
the AMD driver these are all in 'struct fault', the relevant members
are:

u64 address;
u16 devid;
u16 pasid;
u16 tag;
u16 finish;
u16 flags;

And passing all this through the existing interface which also handles
non-pasid faults is cumbersome. So I'd like to keep the PASID/PPR
interface separate from the old one for now.

Regards,

Joerg
