Michal Privoznik 2c13a2a7c9 virt-host-validate: Detect SMMU support on ARMs
In vir-host-validate we do two checks related to IOMMU:

  1) hardware support, and
  2) kernel support.

While users are usually interested in the latter, the former also
makes sense. And for the former (hardware support) we have this
huge if-else block for nearly every architecture, except ARM.

Now, IOMMU is called SMMU in ARM world, and while there's
certainly a definitive way of detecting SMMU support (e.g. via
dumping some registers in asm), we can work around this - just
like we do for Intel and AMD - and check for an ACPI table
presence.

In ARM world, there's I/O Remapping Table (IORT) which describes
SMMU capabilities on given host and is exposed in sysfs
(regardless of arm_smmu module).

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
