Nice.
I wondered whether there are more of these to find by review, instead
of waiting for the next message to show up.

I ended up in the "not so straight forward" IOMMU init macros... and
continued with daily work again.

Anyway there are a lot files showing up when grepping the kernel for
intel files/drivers, maybe someone who is involved in the one or other comes
up with something similar...
