You'd have to go into the BIOS to turn this on for most machines at
least?

But, yeah, it seems like we should be turning DMAR off unless explicitly
requested; I can't understand how you'd ever need this running native on
the hardware. Not exactly an area I care about deeply; I've always
worked hard to make sure all virtualization garbage is disabled on every
machine I use.
