* Should we not atleast keep the changes in drivers/acpi/iort.c and
 include/acpi/actbl2.h seperate, since they are outside smmuv3 driver ? 

* Probably i can merge the below patches, 
  1. iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Introduce smmu option PAGE0_REGS_ONLY for ThunderX2 
    errata#74.
  2. iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Do resource size checks based on SMMU option
     PAGE0_REGS_O

Is that fine ?

Thanks.
