I'm not sure if the IOMMU device id is unique to stoney.  I think it's the same DID for the entire APU generation.   I think it would be better to walk the bus and try and find the stoney GPU and only in that case, disable the IOMMU.  E.g., if the user has disabled the GPU portion of the APU or has a dGPU installed, they may will want to use the IOMMU.  It's only the integrated GPU that has a problem when trying to display high res modes out of system memory with the IOMMU due to the added latency.
The stoney GPU is VID 0x1002, DID 0x98E4.
