Per my thought, we can use these two start/stop interfaces to make
user space decide when to start/stop the dirty tracking. For Intel
SLADE, I think we can enable this bit when this start interface is
called by user space. I don't think leave SLADE enabled all the time
is necessary for Intel Vt-d. So I suggest a generic interface here.
Thanks!
