Tried this patchset on avi/master tree, VT-d works. Your generic API approach is ok for me. But the multiple devices assignment patches (here patch 01 and 02) needs some improvement, and they are too big to review. I have split them into a serial small patches, and sent out for review in another mail thread. After my multiple device assignment patchset is accepted, I think you can easily rebase your generic patchset on it.

Regards,
Weidong
