I wonder if we should provide some generic helper to register vIOMMU reset callbacks, so that we'll be sure any vIOMMU model impl that will register at exit() phase only, and do nothing during the initial two phases. Then we can put some rich comment on that helper on why. Looks like it means the qemu reset model in the future can be a combination of device tree (which resets depth-first) and the three phases model. We will start to use different approach to solve different problems. Maybe after we settle our mind, we should update the reset document, e.g. for device emulation developers, we need to be clear on where to quiesce the DMAs, and it must not happen at exit(). Both all devices and all iommu impls need to follow the rules to make it work like the plan. Thanks, -- Peter Xu
