Any update on the status here? If I'm reading the conversation above,
Robin said: "we'll *always* see the warning because there's no way to
tear down the default DMA domains, and even if all devices *have* been
nicely quiesced there's no way to tell". Did I understand that
properly? If so, it seems like it's fully expected to see this
message on every reboot and it doesn't necessarily signify anything
bad.


Understanding is the same, waiting for Will and Robin to check if its OK
to make the message more friendly.

The way I see it, we essentially just want *something* visible that will correlate with any misbehaviour that *might* result from turning off a possibly-live context. How about simply "disabling translation", at dev_warn or dev_info level?
