I think the point that I was trying to get across was that there could be IOMMUs that are always on, with no means to disable translations at all. But since that's now mentioned in the "Notes:" section that Olof commented on I think we have that covered as well. >=20 > > I guess one could say that this is implicit if all masters share the > > same translations.

It looks like this hasn't been applied yet, so I can send out a v5 shortly with the requested changes addressed.
