I imagined it would work by the driver passing in what modes it supports and Intel GPU would simply pass in ATS only. Even something like mlx has variation, only some operations can opt into ATS, many others are never-ATS. Driver should not make statements like " *will* take the host-bridge path" since it has no idea. Jason
