The VT-d driver enables ATS in the iommu probe_finalize() path (for
scalable mode).

static void intel_iommu_probe_finalize(struct device *dev)
{

[...]
         if (sm_supported(iommu) && !dev_is_real_dma_subdevice(dev)) {
                 iommu_enable_pci_ats(info);
                 /* Assign a DEVTLB cache tag to the default domain. */
                 if (info->ats_enabled && info->domain) {
                         u16 did = domain_id_iommu(info->domain, iommu);

                         if (cache_tag_assign(info->domain, did, dev,
                                              IOMMU_NO_PASID, 
CACHE_TAG_DEVTLB))
                                 iommu_disable_pci_ats(info);
                 }
         }

[...]
}

iommu_enable_pci_ats() will eventually call pci_enable_ats() after some
necessary checks.
