> The Intel vt-d spec rev3.0 introduces a new translation
> mode called scalable mode, which enables PASID-granular
> translations for first level, second level, nested and
> pass-through modes. At the same time, the previous
> Extended Context (ECS) mode is deprecated (no production
> ever implements ECS).
> 
> This patch adds enumeration for Scalable Mode and removes
> the deprecated ECS enumeration. It provides a boot time
> option to disable scalable mode even hardware claims to
> support it.
