Not if you can tell the IOMMU to stop reporting those errors.

We can easily do it per-device for DMA errors; not quite sure what
granularity we have for interrupts. Perhaps the Intel IOMMU only lets
you set the Fault Processing Disable bit per IRTE entry, and you still
get faults for Compatibility Format interrupts? Not sure about AMD...
