So while you are at working on ATS, could we probably also introduce a
way to globally disable ATS on a box from the kernel command line
(pci=noats?)? ATS is basically a way for a device to tunnel through the
IOMMU without access checking (because pre-translated requests are not
checked again).

For security reasons it would be good to have a way to disable ATS
completly if desired.
