Although VT-d emulation currently only supports 39 bits, it could
be iovas being within that supported range. This patch allows
IOVA mode in such a case.
Indeed, memory initialization code can be modified for using lower
virtual addresses than those used by the kernel for 64 bits processes
by default, and therefore memsegs iovas can use 39 bits or less for
most system. And this is likely 100% true for VMs.
Applicable to v17.11.3 only.

As I do not know enough on what IOMMU hardware can coexist, I leave this
patch for others to review.
Here is the previous question/answer:
Not sure why this change? Why do we only need to check one device on
all the buses?
Because there is just one emulated IOMMU hardware. The limitation in
this case is not in a specific PCI device. And I do not think it is
possible to have two different (emulated or not) IOMMU hardware. Yes,
you can have more than one controller but being same IOMMU type.
If the above is confirmed, you can consider this patch ack’ed.
