To be clear now you oppose intel_vtd_active taking struct device? I 
thought you expressed general agreement when I presented the idea in the 
previous thread.

I don't mind hugely to go either way, but I also don't see how taking 
struct device makes anything unclear. (I only think 
intel_vtd_run_as_guest is really wrong in this story but that's old news.)

And if I make it take i915 then I would want to name it i915_vtd_active 
as well. But then you wouldn't like that.

Should we just stuff all this into i915_utils for now, as I think Lucas 
suggested? Static inline or not, I don't care.
