Looks good to me. Any time a directory starts to have a lot of
filenames with a particular prefix, moving them deeper like this seems
to make sense. And doing it just before the -rc1 release and avoiding
unnecessary conflicts seems like the right time too.

So pulled.

Looking at it, it might even be worth moving the Kconfig and Makefile
details down to the intel/amd subdirectories, and have them be
included from the main iommu ones? But that's up to you.

Thanks,
