But I have a feeling if we do that it should be done by re-attaching
the domain.

For instance if you look at how I structued SMMUv3, the ATSness is an
effective property of the domain type and ATS switches on and off
dynamically already.

Having an additional input to domain attach "inhibit ats", as a flag
would be all the support the driver would need to provide for the core
code to manage this with some kind of global policy.

I would suggest to steer VTD in that direction too and make the ATS
enable be done on domain attach, and put the first ATS enable in
attach, not in probe. The logic in smmuv3 would apply just as well to
VTD, though you'd need the hitless update logic too :)
