From a quick look, VT-D's SLADE and SMMU's HTTU appear to be the exact 
same thing. This step isn't about enabling or disabling that feature 
itself (the proposal for SMMU is to simply leave HTTU enabled all the 
time), it's about controlling the granularity at which the dirty status 
can be detected/reported at all, since that's tied to the pagetable 
structure.

However, if an IOMMU were to come along with some other way of reporting 
dirty status that didn't depend on the granularity of individual 
mappings, then indeed it wouldn't need this operation.
