The intention is to read the first IDAW to determine the starting location of an I/O operation, knowing that the second and any/all subsequent IDAWs will be aligned per architecture. But, this read receives 64-bits of data, which is the size of a Format-2 IDAW. In the event that Format-1 IDAWs are presented, adjust the size of the read to 32-bits. The data will end up occupying the upper word of the target iova variable, so shift it down to the lower word for use as an address. (By definition, this IDAW format uses a 31-bit address, so the "sign" bit will always be off and there is no concern about sign extension.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
