    return rte_eal_check_dma_mask(mgaw) == 0; ?


I guess that works and is more elegant.
Thanks.

    The commit message doesn't explain why are we only checking a single
    device. Indeed, i am not 100% clear as to why, so some explanation in
    the commit message and preferably a comment in code would be more than
    welcome :)


Because the pci_one_device_iommu_support_va function does always the same whatever the device is used in the call.

So, this code was always wrong and needlessly checked each device when it could've checked it a single time? OK, that makes it a bit clearer. Still, needs to be documented in comments/commit message :) The commit message IMO looks quite irrelevant to what happens in the commit. It almost feels like this commit should be split in two - first change the mgaw check, and then fix the PCI bus code to not check needlessly.
