Caveat; ia64 is a different architecture, but it was on Intel VT-d
chipsets, which therefore supported the IOMMU API and ia64 maps guests
the same way. This is the same problem I ran into trying to name the
vfio iommu driver for x86. It's not really x86-specific, but it's got
to look and smell pretty similar. Thanks,
Alex
