No, the problem is that almost all BIOS-provided IVRS tables are buggy
because they do not define a unity-mapped region for devices that need
one (like USB controllers). So there is a time window from iommu driver
initialization to where the usb driver takes over the controller where
these io-page-faults can happen.
