Yes, to follow the requirement closely, one would need to time the
duration of the address translation but that is pretty straightforward
to do. IBAT already has to time out requests anyway. The worst case for
address resolution is currently 4 * 100 msec. Other alternatives are to
subtract the maximal address translation time off the time supplied and
use the rest for CM, or as you said ignore this time and use it all for
CM purposes (and just go over by whatever amount this is). Did other
implementations factor this in or did they ignore this ?
