The adapter may be used in any PCIe design that supports DMA.
So it may be possible to run in arm64 servers.

Sounds the best to keep system operating as tested today.

It may be beneficial for some other drivers but for our use we would 
then need to register for the panic path and the crash_shutdown path. 
We notify the VK card for 2 purposes: one to stop DMA so memory stop 
changing during a kdump.  And also to get the card into a good state so 
resets happen cleanly.
