Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] IOMMU: don't disable bus mastering on faults for devices used by Xen or Dom0



Hi, Jan 
If the phantom device support for IOMMU is in upstream,  is this patch still 
needed ?  Basically,  I can't figure out why several faults should be allowed 
before disabling bus mastering.   Did you meet some real issues ?   Thanks!
