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.
If we can account for all of the time properly, then we should
implement it that way.
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 ?
