This is equally a problem for DT, and I think in general we'd prefer not
to be dragging ACPI/DT specifics in at this level when there's a clean
way to address it more generally. There is some recent ongoing
discussion and work in this area (latest part at [1]) - I have a local
branch somewhere implementing the stricter "don't special case default
masks" version (after I came around to Arnd's viewpoint), which I must
refresh myself on because there was some anomaly in the core DT code
which that brought to light.

Either way, this reminds me that iommu_dma_supported() is another thing
I got completely wrong - time to write yet another patch...
