The existing VT-d implementation doesn't distinguish igfx from dgfx. It
only checks whether the device is of a display class:

#define IS_GFX_DEVICE(pdev) ((pdev->class >> 16) == PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY)

When igfx_off is specified, all graphic devices will put into pass-
through (the same meaning as identity mapping) mode. For igfx, since
the iommu is always dedicated, hence it further turn off the iommu
(hence there's no iommu domain) to save power.

Best regards,
