Agree. It should not crash Xen by default due to BIOS issues.
warn-and-disable is better. It won't impact common Xen users, and if a
user really wants to use VT-d, he can try iommu=workaround_bogus_bios,
or directly report to OEM vendor to get it fixed in BIOS. As VT-d is
used more and more widely, I think the BIOS issues will be found and
fixed more quickly than before, thus the situation should be better.
