Yes, but the code is currently a mix of architecture-specific and
plausibly-generic. I don't think a wholesale copying of the code into
drivers/passthrough/ is the way to go -- you'll ending up needing to ifdef
in a bunch of places, or move fragments of code back again to arch/x86/.

Do you actually have a demonstrable merge of vt-d for ia64 yet?
