Right, so the patch and commit message matches. What I'm asking about is
that in my testing I saw, from the IOMMU translation errors, that the
addresses accessed by the hardware wasn't 35 bit, they where only 32
bits.

Given that the patch also makes changes to how it writes addresses to
the ring I was wondering if the patch actually takes the limit from 32
to 35, not 37 to 35.


Regardless, I'm fine with the end result, you have my T-b and I would be
happy to see this in v5.1.
