IOMMU tables exist alone in VIO. Also, the platform code uses just a table 
(or it is in bypass mode) and does not care about table groups. It looked 
more clean for myself to keep them separated. Should I still merge those?

Suggest something better please :) I have nothing better...

I do not disable bypass per se (even if it what set_ownership(true) does) 
as it is IODA business and VFIO has no idea about it. I do take control 
over the group. I am not following you here - what used to have the same 
meaning?

I really want to keep VFIO stuff out of arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c as much 
as possible as it is for platform DMA/IOMMU, not VFIO (which got SPAPR 
driver for that). ops->set_ownership() is one of these things.

iommu_take_ownership()/iommu_release_ownership() are helpers for old-style 
commercially-unsupported P5IOC2/IODA1, and this is kind of a hack while 
ops->set_ownership() is an interface for VFIO to do dynamic windows thing.

If it makes sense, I could fold the previous patch into this one and move 
iommu_take_ownership()/iommu_release_ownership() to vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.c, 
should I? Or leave things are they are now.
