Actually I'm really annoyed right now that the other Intel team wasted
quiet a lot of the rest of our time on arguing about vDPA and vfio
with no actual interest in this technology.
So you'll excuse me if I'm not particularly enamored with this
discussion right now.

VDPA IOMMU was done *for Intel*, as the kind of half-architected thing
you are advocating should be allowed for IDXD here. Not sure why you
think bashing that work is going to help your case here.
I'm saying Intel needs to get its architecture together and stop
ceating this mess across the kernel to support Intel devices.
