Ok makes sense, I don't think I need it on an extra branch and whatever
is easiest for Joerg is fine. I hope that since all but patch 6 are
fixes and that one is quite simple that this could maybe still go into
v6.1.

Not sure if Joerg is still waiting on some Acks or R-bs though. I did
remove yours on patches 1, 2, and 3 as there were some changes since
you gave it. I don't think you gave one for patch 4 and patch 6 is new.

I plan on sending further IOMMU improvements and the DMA conversion
based on this but will just reference it and provide private branches
on git.kernel.org. I think those will target the next merge window at
the earliest so that should be fine.

Thanks,
Niklas
