No, it's still all very much Intel-specific, which in fact means it is
just recently now x86-specific since IA-64 has departed.
Historically it's always been the case that building IRQ remapping
support on its own without IOMMU_API was supported, and for a while we
even had the awkward iommu_device_set_ops() wrapper and various other
indirections and stubs in the core API solely to make it work. IMO the
underlying issue here is that there have never been very clear lines of
separation between the ACPI DMAR code, the IOMMU API driver, and the IRQ
remapping driver, so unless the whole design could be improved to make
it harder to break, it probably is time to start asking the question of
whether anyone actually cares about this config combination any more.
Thanks,
Robin.
