before your cleanup patchset:
for AMD 64bit, MEM > 4g, no AGP, iommu=soft
1. if BIOS have correct gart setting, Kernel will use gart
2. if BIOS does not have correct gart setting, Kernel will use swiotlb

for AMD 64bit, MEM > 4g, no AGP, no "iommu=soft"
1. if BIOS have correct gart setting, Kernel will use gart
2. if BIOS does not have correct gart setting, Kernel will allocate some RAM, and set range in AMD NB, and use gart iommu
