Hi Ramesh, hi Jason,

being back from a short vacation, I think I'm sold on enabling x86 for
the 64bit accessors in vfio/pci.

So how should we go about this? 
To keep the scope that I can test manageable, my proposal would be:

I'll post a v5 of my series with the conditional compiles for
"ioread64"/"iowrite64" (effectively still excluding x86) - and you
Ramesh run this patch (add the include + change #ifdef's) as an
explicit patch on top?

Thanks,
Gerd
