what, there's a script to import linux kernel headers to QEMU.

From commit 412a8245 ("pci_regs.h: import from linux"):
```
It seems to make sense to import pci_regs.h from linux: why maintain our own?

As a first step, move the header to standard-headers, and add it to the update script.
```

I'm a little surprised and disappointed that the 2023 Linux Foundation TAB election only has five candidates running for the five open seats. All five of the candidates are existing TAB members.

It would seem like one of the issues the TAB should focus on this year is getting more people interested in TAB participation.

The last one (I think) is having only limited time budget to read.

Another big hurdle is just reading code without knowing what's behind.

A big barrier to reading and analyzing code is a psychological resistance to reading unfamiliar text

@ptesarik Yeah it's quite confusing, at first attempt I searched with the keyword "DMA" and "Direct Memory Access" but couldn't find anything useful - because it's very natural for device to access memory (by becoming bus master)

What kind of benchmark is it

TIL:

DMA in PCI(e) means a device initiates memory read/write transactions.

But how to make a device initiate such a transaction is device-specific (i.e. a device implements a DMA command via its registers)

Wondering if a DMA interface can be added to CXL.io protocol so that page migrations can be done in a peer-to-peer manner without host interference. (in systems with multiple memory tiers)
