Agreed. I'll move it to vtd_decide_config(). > Something like: > > - s->scalable_mode_str to keep the string > - s->scalable_mode still as a bool to cache the global enablement > - s->scalable_modern as a bool to keep the mode > > ?

I think so. Let's just align on the direction above. Regards, Yi Liu
