The ioctl API should have room for this growth but you need to start out with some constrained enough to actually implement then figure out how to grow from there Jason _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
