Using Passthrough mode when SME is active causes certain devices to use the SWIOTLB bounce buffer. The bounce buffer code has an upper limit of 256kb for the size of DMA allocations, which is too small for certain devices and causes them to fail. With this patch we enable IOMMU by default when SME is active in the system, making the default configuration work for more systems than it does now. Users that don't want IOMMUs to be enabled still can disable them with kernel parameters.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
