Stop your personal attacks and come down. I've never said that iommu
parameters are unimportant. The _move_ of the iommu=[no]fullflush to
generic code is a minor issue in my opinion. For the user it changes
nothing. There was an iommu=fullflush parameter before and now there is
also an iommu=fullflush parameter. The only difference is that it now
affects AMD IOMMU too.

Again. Stop your personal attacks.
