Hi Wei,

My understanding is that both EPT/NPT already supports 2M and 1G page sizes.  
If this is true and if NPT supports the same page table format as AMD iommu, 
shouldn't iommu 2M and 1G support just a matter of pointing iommu page table 
pointer to NPT page table of the same guest OS thus sharing the same page table 
between NPT and AMD iommu?

This should save a lot code changes in iommu code.  We just need to flush iommu 
page table in IOTLB at appropriate places.

Allen
