Yes, but is it possible? If no, what part of the code guarantees the
pool is limited?
We should not merge code that allows the pool to grow without bound.
In-house testing certainly never covers all the cases seen in the
field, so I wouldn't make too many assumptions based on that. Some
vendor will inevitably build a $BigNum system where the IOMMU is very
heavily used.
