I still don't like this. We're in a situation where we clearly have to 
disable one feature or the other on SNB - but we're disabling the one 
that's going to be useful to a large number of people, and leaving the 
niche feature enabled. If we're going to merge this then let's turn off 
iommu on SNB by default.
