Thanks, Sorry Alex, I missed your additional questions because this patch just works pretty fine here with kernel 3.4.x. But you're right, your questions should be resolved before freeing it to the wild. @Joerg: Please, liberate me from compiling and patching each kernel myself to get it working and give all the other users out there a chance to use this pretty code and the IOMMU support of AMD's hardware :-) by answering Alex' questions. Thanks, kind regards, Andreas
