It would be great if the iommu integration patches were merged to -next 
to give
them a try for a few days. Joerg: do you plan to take those patches to 
v3.19 or
do you want to wait more?

I will check that soon, but I hope this is not strictly needed to get 
basic iommu
and dma-mapping integration merged.
