About the driver

• Only one CBDMA function gets registered by the driver.
• Also the driver only works with CBDMA devices on bus 0. This is to avoid dealing with scoped DRHDs when performing IOMMU passthru.

Example Interaction via sysfs

# Mount the device
bash-4.3$ mkdir -p /sys/cbdma
bash-4.3$ /bin/bind \#cbdma /sys/cbdma
bash-4.3$ cd /sys/cbdma/

# All files
bash-4.3$ ls
iommu  ktest  reset  stats  ucopy

# Display information about CBDMA
bash-4.3$ cat stats
