I'm not sure, divulging the current Linux name of this feature bit is a
good idea, but if everybody else is fine with this, I don't care that
Not sure if that feature name will ever change, as it is exported in

and keep the old one, but that would still mean some churn.
much. An alternative would be:
"virtio: device falsely claims to have full access to the memory,
aborting the device"
"virtio: device does not work with limited memory access" ?
But no issue with keeping the current message.
I think I prefer Conny's version, but no strong feelings here.
The reason why the device is not accepted without IOMMU_PLATFORM is arch
