That explanation confused me even more. So I've rechecked with
intel_iommu=igfx_off and already thought I've made a decent fool of
myself because I couldn't readily hang it. Turns out it's just much harder
to hang with that. So I think moving around the tlb flushing for other
dmar nodes to align with the idled igfx isn't a great solution, simply
because I can't reliably tell whether it fixes anything.
