Research direction

Start by reading section 8.1 of the linked Intel VT-d specification, then inspect the repository's existing ACPI table parsers to find the appropriate entry point for DMAR support. Done means the DMAR table described by the specification can be parsed by the library; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
