The VT-d spec requires (10.4.4 Global Command Register, GCMD_REG General
Description) that:
If multiple control fields in this register need to be modified, software
must serialize the modifications through multiple writes to this register.
However, in irq_remapping.c, modifications of IRE and CFI are done in one
write. We need to do two separate writes with STS checking after each. It
also checks the status register before writing command register to avoid
unnecessary register write.

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.
