I guess I'm trying to say here that the recent changes add such support
to the platform BIOS that allows the OS to enable IOMMU without being
compromised by a malicious device that is already connected. The BIOS
sets the new ACPI DMAR bit in that case.

There is no standard but I'm quite sure this is something that will be
required to be implemented properly by the OEM by Microsoft hardware
compatibility suite.

OK, I will update the commit message accordingly.

I agree the loop is not necessary. I'll change it in the next version.

Works for me :)
