>   * disable Intel DMA remapping by default (LP: #1971699)

Doesn't this add a massive security issue, in that you can plug a
malicious thunderbolt peripheral into any Ubuntu laptop and read the
entire unencrypted RAM space? The IOMMU is there for a reason...

Title:
  disable Intel DMA remapping by default

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux source package in Jammy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  It seems that enabling Intel IOMMU can cause some weird gfx problems, see for 
example:
      
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971146
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965882

  [Test case]

  We don't have any specific test case, only other bug reports that
  tracked down the origin of the issue as being introduced when
  CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON has been enabled by default.

  [Fix]

  Revert "UBUNTU: [Config] enable Intel DMA remapping options by
  default"

  [Regression potential]

  DMA remapping device not present at boot by default, users that
  require this feature will need to specifically add intel_iommu=on to
  the kernel boot parameters to enable it.
