    Do we have any idea how we are going to do this?

    It's extra complicated if you consider that on some systems on some of
    the devices are behind an IOMMU :-/

    I wonder if we can enumerate which devices have an IOMMU at boot time
    and force a ludicrous dma mask (such as 0) if one isn't present in order
    to force us to always take the exchange_and_pin path?

    Ian.
