This would require us to mandate at least Linux 4.17 in a domain that 
will run an IOREQ server. If we don't mandate this, the minimum version 
would be 4.10 where DM OP was introduced.

Because of XSA-300, we could technically not safely run an IOREQ server 
with existing Linux. So it is probably OK to enforce the use of the 
acquire interface.

Note that I haven't yet looked at the rest of the series. So I am not 
sure if there is more work necessary to enable it.

Cheers,
