oh, yes, will do it.

right. yours is much better.

sorry, I didn't quite get it. could you explain a little bit more. :-)

not sure. :-) I mimics the below struct from uapi/vfio.h

struct vfio_iommu_type1_dma_map {
        __u32   argsz;
        __u32   flags;
#define VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_READ (1 << 0)         /* readable from device */
#define VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_WRITE (1 << 1)        /* writable from device */
        __u64   vaddr;                          /* Process virtual address */
        __u64   iova;                           /* IO virtual address */
        __u64   size;                           /* Size of mapping (bytes) */
};

yes, will remove this line.
