The particular AMD IOMMU project moved on since we listed it. I'm CC'ing
David, who is currently working on it and just recently posted related
patches, and Valentine who probably oversees the status better than I
(due to my lacking involvement recently). David, maybe you can briefly
comment on status and plans of your work.

For the Outreachy program, just like for GSoC, we need to find a good
topic that is sufficiently clear defined on program start and not worked
on in parallel during the runtime. There are still a number of open
topics in this area, e.g. around the older Intel IOMMU model (error
handling and reporting, interrupt remapping), or maybe we find something
different - depends on your interests and experiences. Do you have any
public references to your previous work?

Then I'd suggest to schedule an irc meeting to discuss your interests
and background a bit further and consider available options.
