It was not there in the previous version. Pranjal pointed out that it was missing a field. You are right that this field must set to 0, indicating only single VINTF is allowed. Given Jason's comments about this impl rework (to a data structure), I think I will just drop this number of VTINFs. Instead will add a line of comments say that VMM should set this field to 0, i.e. only provide VM one VINTF per SMMU. Thanks Nicolin
