this talks about 'enable'...

...while this fixes 'disable'. wrong citation?

this fix alone is fine, but I found this quirk overall is not cleanly handled.

Basically it sets iommu_skip_te_disable as true, leading to early return
in iommu_disable_translation():

	if (iommu_skip_te_disable && iommu->drhd->gfx_dedicated &&
	   (cap_read_drain(iommu->cap) || cap_write_drain(iommu->cap)))
		return;

However the caller of iommu_disable_translation() is not aware of this
quirk and continues as if the iommu is disabled. IMHO this is problematic
w/o meeting the caller's assumption.

e.g. kdump and suspend. We may want to abort those paths early in case
of such quirk...
