Hi Zhenhua,

I haven't checked patch one by one, am going through the code flow.

About g_translation_pre_enabled, I don't think it's necessary to define
it as a global variable. Both its assignment and judgement are in
init_dmars(). In this situation a local variable translation_pre_enabled
in init_dmars() is enough.

You can assign value to it here:

		iommu_check_pre_te_status(iommu);
		if (iommu->pre_enabled_trans) {
			translation_pre_enabled = 1;
			...
		}

Thanks
