IOMMU hardwares that support nested translation would have two stages
address translation (normally mentioned as stage-1 and stage-2). The page
table formats of the stage-1 and stage-2 can be different. e.g., VT-d has
different page table formats for stage-1 and stage-2.

Nested parent domain is the iommu domain used to represent the stage-2
translation. In IOMMUFD, both stage-1 and stage-2 translation are tracked
as HWPT (a.k.a. iommu domain). Stage-2 HWPT is parent of stage-1 HWPT as
stage-1 cannot work alone in nested translation. In the cases of stage-1 and
stage-2 page table format are different, the parent HWPT should use exactly
the stage-2 page table format. However, the existing kernel hides the format
selection in iommu drivers, so the domain allocated via IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC can
use either stage-1 page table format or stage-2 page table format, there is
no guarantees for it.

To enforce the page table format of the nested parent domain, this series
introduces a new iommu op (domain_alloc_user) which can accept user flags
to allocate domain as userspace requires. It also converts IOMMUFD to use
the new domain_alloc_user op for domain allocation if supported, then extends
the IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC ioctl to pass down a NEST_PARENT flag to allocate a HWPT
which can be used as parent. This series implements the new op in Intel iommu
driver to have a complete picture. It is a preparation for adding nesting
support in IOMMUFD/IOMMU.

Complete code can be found:

Change log:

v2:
 - Require domain_alloc_user op if IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC passes non-zero flags (Kevin)
 - IOMMUFD core should check kernel known flags while iommu driver needs
   to check supported flags as well (Jason)
 - Minor tweaks per Baolu's comment

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230919092523.39286-1-yi.l.liu@intel.com/
