2.21.29 IOTLB_REG—IOTLB Invalidate Register
This register invalidates IOTLB. The act of writing the upper byte of the IOTLB_REG
with IVT field set causes the hardware to perform the IOTLB invalidation.

Description
Invalidate IOTLB (IVT)
Software requests IOTLB invalidation by setting this field.
Software must also set the requested invalidation granularity by
programming the IIRG field.
A Hardware clears the IVT field to indicate the invalidation
request is complete. Hardware also indicates the granularity at
which the invalidation operation was performed through the IAIG
field. Software must not submit another invalidation request
through this register while the IVT field is set, nor update the
associated Invalidate Address register.

Software must not submit IOTLB invalidation requests when
there is a context-cache invalidation request pending at this
remapping hardware unit.
Hardware implementations reporting write-buffer flushing
requirement (RWBF=1 in Capability register) must implicitly
perform a write buffer flushing before invalidating the IOTLB.

IOTLB Invalidation Request Granularity (IIRG)
When requesting hardware to invalidate the IOTLB (by setting
the IVT field), software writes the requested invalidation
granularity through this field. The following are the encodings for
the field.
00 = Reserved.
01 = Global invalidation request.
10 = Domain-selective invalidation request. The target domain-
id must be specified in the DID field.
11 = Page-selective invalidation request. The target address,
mask and invalidation hint must be specified in the
Invalidate Address register, and the domain-id must be
provided in the DID field.

Hardware implementations may process an invalidation request
by performing invalidation at a coarser granularity than
requested. Hardware indicates completion of the invalidation
request by clearing the IVT field. At this time, the granularity at
which actual invalidation was performed is reported through the
IAIG field.
