qemu has a need to replace the translations associated with a domain when the guest does large-scale operations like switching between an IDENTITY domain and, say, dma-iommu.c. Currently, it does this by replacing all the mappings in a single domain, but this is very inefficient and means that domains have to be per-device rather than per-translation. Provide a high-level API to allow replacements of one domain with another. This is similar to a detach/attach cycle except it doesn't force the group to go to the blocking domain in-between. By removing this forced blocking domain the iommu driver has the opportunity to implement a non-disruptive replacement of the domain to the greatest extent its hardware allows. This allows the qemu emulation of the vIOMMU to be more complete, as real hardware often has a non-distruptive replacement capability. It could be possible to address this by simply removing the protection from the iommu_attach_group(), but it is not so clear if that is safe for the few users. Thus, add a new API to serve this new purpose. All drivers are already required to support changing between active UNMANAGED domains when using their attach_dev ops. This API is expected to be used only by IOMMUFD, so add to the iommu-priv header and mark it as IOMMUFD_INTERNAL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
