I have an update on this topic and the RMR flags to free up IOVA. Is December 2nd confirmed as next session ? If possible 3PM GMT works better for me; the NUMA topic raised by Jonathan is another interesting topic for debate. Other than that we can slot in the topics that weren't discussed last time: https://collaborate.linaro.org/display/LOD/Linaro+Open+Discussions+Home even though those require a bit of preparation so the sooner we finalize the schedule the better.
