But what we want to do here in the kdumo case is to disable translation
too, right? Because the former kernel might have translation and
irq-remapping enabled and the kdump kernel might be compiled without
support for dma-remapping. So if we don't disable translation here too
the kdump kernel is unable to do DMA.

I agree that disabling translation should be a bit more explicit instead
of the current code.
