The spec says:

Software Implementation Note: Information conveyed in the IVRS overrides
the corresponding
information available through the IOMMU hardware registers. System
software is required to honor
the ACPI settings.

This suggests that if there is an ACPI table, the hardware registers
shouldn't be followed.

Given what else is broken when there is no APCI table, I think we can
(and should) not support this configuration.

I could have sworn I read in the spec that if 11H is present, 10H should
be ignored, but I can't actually locate a statement to this effect.
