One concern I have is whether the pass-through mode truly does nothing
or addresses perhaps still go through the dmar hardware just with no
translation?

If latter then most like for like change is actually exactly what the
first version of my patch did. That is replace intel_iommu_gfx_mapped
with a plain non-NULL check on iommu_get_domain_for_dev.
