I agree that it might make sense to describe the behavior of the IOMMU
when it is left in the state we found it in. But that is not the same
as status=disabled.
The DTS subtree contains loads and loads of boilerplate
configurations, where only some pieces are enabled in the final image
by setting status=okay. So a node that has status 'disabled' should be
treated as 'not present', not as 'present but can be ignored under
assumptions such and such'
In other words, I think we are talking about two different issues here.
