I'm finally getting back to this. I'll include a modified version of the above
code in the next version of the series and will make sure to test it on both
Gen2 and Gen3 systems with and without the IOMMU enabled.
Unless you'd prefer otherwise, I'll mark you as the author of the code. Can I
get your SoB ?
