New hypercalls introduced by this patchset also can reuse for PVH to
enable vIOMMU. This patchset relies on Qemu Xen-vIOMMU device model to
create/destroy vIOMMU. If we want to enable DMA translation for hvm
guest later, virtual device's DMA request would be passed from Qemu to
Xen hypervisor and the device model in Qemu is necessary.
