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.
