 IOMMU problem

DRM gem can be used for Non-DRM drivers such as GPU, V4L2 based Multimedia device and other DMA devices.
Even though IOMMU support is disabled, other framework based DMA drivers can use IOMMU - i.e., GPU driver -
and they can use non-contiguous GEM buffer through UMM. (DMABUF) 

So GEM allocation type is not dependent on IOMMU.

Thanks,
