It is currently Intel only but that will change. I will look into what
you suggest.

Ok so I guess it would be better to set it to IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA event
though passthrough was requested. Or perhaps something more is needed here?

Doing a secure launch with the kernel is not a general purpose user use
case. A lot of work is done to secure the environment. Allowing
passthrough mode would leave the secure launch kernel exposed to DMA. I
think what we are trying to do here is what we intend though there may
be a better way or perhaps it is incomplete as you suggest.

This came from a specific request to not make disabling IOMMU modes
build time dependent. This is because a secure launch enabled kernel can
also be booted as a general purpose kernel in cases where this is desired.

Thank you,
