Which of course will work, as 2e10 is my DRAM controller as reported by lspci,
sorry.

But, shouldn't the
"DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x2eXX, quirk_iommu_rwbf);"
calls be rather
" DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x2e00, quirk_iommu_g4x_gfx);"
?

The current patch errors out on my while compiling as quirk_iommu_rwbf is not
yet defined at that place.
