This should be a switch to prepare for dirty log start. Per Intel
Vtd spec, there is SLADE defined in Scalable-Mode PASID Table Entry.
It enables Accessed/Dirty Flags in second-level paging entries.
So, a generic iommu interface here is better. For Intel iommu, it
enables SLADE. For ARM, it splits block.

Same as above comment, a generic interface is required here.
