Sorry, I don;t agree with you. Semantic shouldn't lower the iova priority. iova framework is blocking SoC's. w/o iova framework : One has to live with hackish solution for their SoC. Semantic change in any-case could be pipelined. It shouldn't be like Semantics change gets priority and therefore it blocks other SoCs.
