So when someone enables ATS, will the 1ms timeout apply to the
dev iotlb invalidations too? If so, that's surely too short, and would
ideally be adjusted automatically, but the need for a higher timeout
in that case should in any event be mentioned here.

Apart from that aspect this patch seems to be ready, but will clearly
need a VT-d maintainer's ack.
