_your_ ack (or signoff) counts too - so to me it's plural :-)

yes - tip:core/iommu is already distinct from tip:x86/iommu and is 
intended for such more generic patches. It has no patches pending 
right now (it just got all merged upstream) - so please use an 
upstream base - 2.6.30-rc1 would be a good starting point.
