You are going to need to go into generic_pt and implement cut and a more suitable unmap to make this stuff work properly. We can't over unmap on conversions. > iommu_unmap() may not split the range of one map call either, and > virtio-iommu refuses to.

WTF is this even trying to say? The subject is "use large pages" and this text says "map each page with its own call" Jason
