Yes

We have host1x DMA that could have:

1. No IOMMU domain, depending on kernel/DT config
2. Managed domain, on newer SoCs
3. Unmanaged domain, on older SoCs

We have Tegra DRM devices which can:

1. Be attached to a shared unmanaged tegra->domain, on older SoCs
2. Have own managed domains, on newer SoCs

Tegra DRM allocates buffers and submits jobs to h/w using host1x's
channel DMA. DRM framebuffers' addresses are inserted into host1x
command buffers by kernel driver and addresses beyond 32bit space need
to be treated specially, we don't support such addresses in upstream.

IOMMU AS is limited to 32bits on Tegra in upstream kernel for pre-T186
SoCs, it hides 64bit addresses from host1x. Post-T186 SoCs have extra
features that allow kernel driver not to bother about addresses.

For newer ARM64 SoCs there is assumption in the Tegra drivers that IOMMU
always presents, to simplify things.
