No doubt, the marketing for it is quick to point out the mesh topology
of NVLink, but I haven't seen any technical documents that describe the
isolation capabilities or IOMMU interaction. Whether this is included
or an afterthought, I have no idea.

>From that perspective, do we have any idea what NVLink means for
topology and IOMMU provided isolation and translation? I've seen a
device assignment user report that seems to suggest it might pretend to
be PCIe compatible, but the assigned GPU ultimately doesn't work
correctly in a VM, so perhaps the software compatibility is only so
deep. Thanks,
Alex
