Agreed. This should also be the default if not dma=xxx is specfied and
a capable IOMMU is found.

What does the 'cooperative' mean? I assume you are thinking of
PVDMA-without-IOMMU, but in that case the name is misleading, since
you can do cooperative (PVDMA) just fine with an IOMMU. Perhaps
"dma=itrusttheguest", since with PVDMA0-without-IOMMU the guest is
trusted to not screw up the system?
Cheers,
