[PATCH v3 23/25] iommu: Merge strictness and domain type configs

[Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com>]

To parallel the sysfs behaviour, merge the new build-time option
for DMA domain strictness into the default domain type choice.

 	help
-	  Support lazy mode, where for every IOMMU DMA unmap operation, the
-	  flush operation of IOTLB and the free operation of IOVA are deferred.
-	  They are only guaranteed to be done before the related IOVA will be
-	  reused.
+	  Trusted devices use translation to restrict their access to only
+	  DMA-mapped pages, but with "lazy" batched TLB invalidation. This
+	  mode allows higher performance with some IOMMUs due to reduced TLB
+	  flushing, but at the cost of reduced isolation since devices may be
+	  able to access memory for some time after it has been unmapped.
+	  Equivalent to passing "iommu.passthrough=0 iommu.strict=0" on the
+	  command line.
 
-	  The isolation provided in this mode is not as secure as STRICT mode,
-	  such that a vulnerable time window may be created between the DMA
-	  unmap and the mappings cached in the IOMMU IOTLB or device TLB
-	  finally being invalidated, where the device could still access the
-	  memory which has already been unmapped by the device driver.
-	  However this mode may provide better performance in high throughput
-	  scenarios, and is still considerably more secure than passthrough
-	  mode or no IOMMU.
+	  If this mode is not supported by the IOMMU driver, the effective
+	  runtime default will fall back to IOMMU_DEFAULT_DMA_STRICT.
