There is no specific reason for mandating iommu & ats, it was just
started that way.
I will extend the patch to support those cases too.

Got it, will control it too.
Maybe for vhost-net we could directly send iotlb miss for [0,~0ULL].

How would that mode be activated if it is not tied to live migration?
New backend/command line switch?
Maybe it is better to also start with no iommu & ats support and add it on top.

I think the same.
Thanks!
