Unfortunately, we don't have a proper measurements for IOPOLL mode with and without IOMMU, because initially we didn't configure IOPOLL properly. However, I bet that this mode will be affected as well, because disk still has to write using IOMMU.

You suggest a very interesting measurements. I will keep it in my mind and try during next experiments. Wish I have read this before to apply during the past runs :)

Yeah you'd still have the IOMMU DMA translation, but would avoid the interrupt overhead...
