From: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>

Intel VT-d spec added a new DMA_CTRL_PLATFORM_OPT_IN_FLAG flag
in DMAR ACPI table for BIOS to report compliance about platform
initiated DMA restricted to RMRR ranges when transferring control
to the OS. The OS treats this as a hint that the IOMMU should be
enabled to prevent DMA attacks from possible malicious devices.

A use of this flag is Kernel DMA protection for Thunderbolt[1]
which in practice means that IOMMU should be enabled for PCIe
devices connected to the Thunderbolt ports. With IOMMU enabled
for these devices, all DMA operations are limited in the range
reserved for it, thus the DMA attacks are prevented. All these
devices are enumerated in the PCI/PCIe module and marked with
an is_external flag.

This forces IOMMU to be enabled if DMA_CTRL_PLATFORM_OPT_IN_FLAG
is set in DMAR ACPI table and there are PCIe devices marked as
is_external in the system. This can be turned off by adding
"intel_iommu=off" in the kernel command line, if any problems are
found.

Looks good to me

Does this in any way suggest that there are additional recommended uses
cases from Intel for RMRRs?  My concern here is the incompatibility we
have with RMRRs and device assignment as we currently cannot assign
devices where the IOVA address space is encumbered by RMRR
requirements.  Unfortunately RMRRs do not indicate any sort or
lifespan, so firmware enabling an RMRR simply to support some boot-time
DMA encumbers the device with that RMRR for the life of that boot,
unless we have VT-d code that decides it knows better.  Thanks,

Alex

IMO any new platform that requires RMRR should be a bug. It was designed 
originally for some legacy keyboard emulation etc.

The best behavior is to continue to not allow devices with RMRR be direct assigned.

Technically ignoring RMRR's and continuing to assign those devices is risky.
The problem is IF BIOS/SMM initiates some IO in the RMRR range and it happens to be
mapped by the direct assigned GPA its going to be ugly failure.
