Right, it's basically about whether any DMA-limited device might at any 
time end up in an IOMMU_DOMAIN_IDENTITY domain. And given the 
possibility of device hotplug and the user being silly with the sysfs 
interface, I don't think we can categorically determine that at boot time.

Also note that Intel systems are likely to be similarly affected (in 
fact intel-iommu doesn't even have the iommu_default_passthough() check 
so it's probably even easier to blow up).
