Thanks for working on this, I have several questions:

1) Is there an example implementation of the logging in the drivers?
We need a real user in order to merge this.
2) Is the logging based on IOVA or VA? How the DMA isolation is being
done with this? Do we need a SET_LOGGING_ASID uAPI for this? (We had
some discussion on this in the past).

Thanks
