This approach looks generally good to me. I do worry a little bit about older
systems that didn't set ExternalFacingPort in the FW but were previously setting
iommu_dma_protection, but I think that those could be treated on a quirk
basis to set PCI IDs for those root ports as external facing if/when they come
up.
I'll send up a follow up patch that adds the AMD ACPI table check.
If it looks good can roll it into your series for v3, or if this series goes
as is for v2 it can come on its own.

I still do think you could know exactly which devices to use if you're in
SW CM mode, but I guess the consensus is to not bifurcate the way this
can be checked.
