> PRQ overflow may cause I/O throughput congestion, resulting in unnecessary
> degradation of I/O performance. Appropriately increasing the length of PRQ
> can greatly reduce the occurrence of PRQ overflow. The count of maximum
> page requests that can be generated in parallel by a PCIe device is
> statically defined in the Outstanding Page Request Capacity field of the
> PCIe ATS configure space.
> 
> The new length of PRQ is calculated by summing up the value of Outstanding
> Page Request Capacity register across all devices where Page Requests are
> supported on the real PR-capable platform (Intel Sapphire Rapids). The
> result is round to the nearest higher power of 2.
> 
> The PRQ length is also double sized as the VT-d IOMMU driver only updates
> the Page Request Queue Head Register (PQH_REG) after processing the
> entire
> queue.
