I'll keep him CC'ed next iterations. Thanks!

FWIW, the should change a bit on next iteration (simpler)
by always enabling DBM from the start. SMMUv3 ::set_dirty_tracking() becomes
a simpler function that tests quirks (i.e. DBM set) and what not, and calls
read_and_clear_dirty() without a bitmap argument to clear dirties.
