Thanks Julien for replying. I am trying to understand your code and
map it with the documentation (devicetree/bindings/iommu/arm,smmu.txt
and SMMU v2 Arch).

While I was trying to understand the drivers/passthrough/arm/smmu.c I
was not able to find a device tree that contains the compatible nodes
in 3.16 kernel (grep smmuvx / mmu-masters returned nothing).
Can you please help with this.
