If it's possible, I'd like it go through the PCI tree because the ATS 
depends on the SR-IOV. This dependency is not reflected in this v3 
series since the SR-IOV is not in-tree and I don't want to break the 
build after people apply the ATS on their tree.

So Dave, can I get an ack from you and let Jesse pull the IOMMU change 
to his tree? Or let this ATS go to 2.6.31?

Thanks,
Yu
