I would prefer to fix it than disable the feature. I would raising a fix 
for it.

Also, to keep it clear, this is nothing to do with this patch series. 
The issue about non usable IOVA range has been there for qcom vpu, it 
not newly introduced in iris driver. It was not exposed in venus and it 
is seen now in iris with concurrency when IOVA falls into that non 
addressable range.
