Hi Joerg,
This is quite strange. I checked the patches from patch 01 to 10 using
./scripts/checkpatch.pl under the kernel source directory, but got 0
errors and 0 warning. Only some white spaces in the cover letter 00,
but is could not be checked by this script.

But I checked the intel-iommu.c using "checkpatch.pl -f", found too many
warnings and errors. Maybe we need a new patch to fix them.

Thanks
Zhenhua
