Let's contemplate this for a moment. If we're on the affected ITS, we're
using the physical address of the GITS_TRANSLATER register. What
guarantees that this is not going to conflict with an IOVA that DMA is
going to use? From looking at these patches, my feeling is "not much".

So if I'm right, you're opening the door to some interesting memory
corruption if the two regions ever intersect.

Robin, what do you think?
