Sorry Alex,
I missed your additional questions because this patch just works
pretty fine here with kernel 3.4.x.

But you're right, your questions should be resolved before freeing it
to the wild.

@Joerg:
Please, liberate me from compiling and patching each kernel myself to
get it working and give all the other users out there a chance to use
this pretty code and the IOMMU support of AMD's hardware :-) by
answering Alex' questions.


Thanks,
kind regards,
Andreas
