Hmm, the patch set is self-contained and hard to split. We had the same
problem with the initial iommu-api merge. Since I have further updates
for the AMD IOMMU driver I think its best to send the these patches and
my updates directly to Linus after the KVM updates are merged in the
next merge window. Thanks for your ACKs :-)
