Subject: [PATCH v4 16/23] Documentation: userspace-api: iommufd: Update HW QUEUE
Date: Thu, 8 May 2025 20:02:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <06b52408c31858e39a2fb557fd35f80db965f646.1746757630.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1746757630.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com>

With the introduction of the new object and its infrastructure, update the
doc to reflect that.
