Would it be possible for us to postpone this error report in the vtd driver? Jason is taking vacation, so he'll unlikely be very active until the new year, although he would probably spare some time taking the cache_invalidate series once it's mature. If the final solution is to use pRID<->vRID mappings for vtd too, we'd likely need the viommu/dev_set_virtual_id series that I am still working on, which certainly won't make it to this cycle. Thanks Nic
