Frankly I think you should take a hard look at just getting the data needed from the PCI device itself. You don't need to depend on virtio, it can be a small driver that gets you that data from the device config space and then just goes away. If you want help with writing such a small driver let me know. If there's an advantage to virtio-iommu then that would be its portability, and it all goes out of the window because of dependencies on ACPI and DT and OF and the rest of the zoo. > * DMA ops for x86 (see "HACK" commit).

There's still a bit of time left before the merge window, maybe you can make above changes. -- MST
