The IORT will be used to retrieve information to configure different 
drivers (ITS and SMMUs). All the drivers don't have dependency between 
each other but the IORT. As they will be contributed by different 
stakeholders, it would be good to get this header checked-in in Xen as 
soon as possible to have a common ground for adding drivers.
Ideally, I would like to see the IORT parsing going at the same time as 
this header. So everyone could re-use it without having to depend on 
unrelated series.
Cheers,
