The original design came from thinking about systems where using the iommu

we need to pass an option to force not using the iommu. I don't think
noiommu or swiotlb is going to make any real difference.
So I'm totally in favor of turning off features if we don't need them and we
don't take a tremendous performance hit. (People get grumpy when writing
all of memory to disk takes completely unreasonable amounts of time).
So you prefer to
add diable_gart in shutdown or suspend func and let kexec to use swiotlb comand
line?
