You can break lots of stuff with root... For sure, but it is good practice to limit that. I had to fix something like this recently, so know about it... another potential problem is use-after-frees, where your device managed memory is freed at removal but still registered somewhere. > >> It seems that some iommu drivers do call iommu_device_register(), so maybe a >> decent reference.

It may be good to add it to older stable kernels also, pre c07b6426df92. I'll have a play on my laptop and see how well that works if > you start unbinding stuff.
