Yes. The NVIDIA model passes through a Virtual-Interface to a VM,
and the VM can allocate and map multiple command queues (buffers)
to the V-Interface, by providing each command queue info in:
+struct iommu_vcmdq_tegra241_cmdqv {
+ __u32 vcmdq_id;
+ __u32 vcmdq_log2size; // size
+ __aligned_u64 vcmdq_base; // GPA
};
Thanks
