The other patches floating around lowered the ATS flush-rate from the
AMD IOMMU driver, which makes the issue disappear as well. But the issue
only disappeared, it is not solved and could probably still be
reproduced with a GPU usage pattern that increases the ATS flush-rate.

So blacklisting the device for ATS is still the safest thing we could do
here.
