Yes, but there are two options:

a) 1. Migrate to iommu, 2. Remove DMM

or:

b) 1. Remove DMM, 2. Migrate to iommu

I've heard there are some problems regarding DMM, and since you say
you have already done the changes, and since iommu migration is not
yet ready AFAIK, it might make sense to go for option b).

Anyway, thanks for the clarification :)
