I think it should be " even when the upper context table ", not "event".

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] iommu/vt-d: Really use upper context table when necessary

There is a bug in iommu_context_addr() which will always use the lower context 
table, event when the upper context table needs to be used. Fix this issue.

Fixes: 03ecc32c5274 ("iommu/vt-d: support extended root and context entries")
