Re: [PATCH] docs: fix the invalid vt-d spec location

[Steven Zhou]

Hi Boris,

Thank you for your comments.

The vt-d spec PDF is around 11M size and after be zipped it's still
around 10M size which cannot be uploaded to "bugzilla.kernel.org"
because this site limits 5M file size to be uploaded.
Seems currently I cannot use the similar way as what you suggested to
specify the bugzilla attachment link in intel-iommu.rst .

Do you have any other suggestion about the link location please ?

Thanks.
