Yeah I was thinking 2.6.28 too, via the x86 tree. The problem last time was
that I sent it too soon (I misunderstood Ingo when he said it was ready) so
we broke the build on some non-x86 platforms. I don't think that'll be an
issue this time, but we may as well push through x86 anyway; I agree that
IOMMU is really a platform feature more than a PCI one.
