Yeah I was thinking 2.6.28 too, via the x86 tree.  The problem last time was 
that I sent it too soon (I misunderstood Ingo when he said it was ready) so 
we broke the build on some non-x86 platforms.  I don't think that'll be an 
issue this time, but we may as well push through x86 anyway; I agree that 
IOMMU is really a platform feature more than a PCI one.
