<p>Intel VT-d is a set of extensions that were originally designed
to allow virtualizing devices. It allows safe access to physical
devices from virtual machines and can also be used for better
isolation and performance increases. A VT-d driver was
developed that implements the <tt>busdma(9)</tt> interface using
the DMA Remap units (DMARs) found in current Intel chipsets.
The driver provides reliability and security improvements for
the system by facilitating restricted access to main memory from
busmastering devices.</p>
<p>It also eliminates bounce buffering (copying) by allocating
remapped regions that satisfy a device's access limitations.</p>

<p>Similarly to the previous years, the whole event started with a
common dinner in the downtown (somewhere around the Ireland
Irish Pub) on Friday which suddenly turned into a do-it-yourself

Poudriere and Tinderbox, &os; in the embedded space, or building
