No worries.

I can, I was just puzzled by the mismatch between the code and commit message. 
As your patch series doesn't provide a complete end-to-end implementation it's 
not always easy to understand how you envision that implementation to work, 
and thus difficult to implement the required modifications to the IOMMU 
driver.
