Revert "iommu/dma: Add config for PCI SAC address trick"
This reverts commit 4bf7fda4dce22214c70c49960b1b6438e6260b67.
It turns out that it was hopelessly naive to think that this would work,
considering that we've always done this. The first machine I actually
tested this on broke at bootup, getting to
Reached target cryptsetup.target - Local Encrypted Volumes.
and then hanging. It's unclear what actually fails, since there's a lot
else going on around that time (eg amdgpu probing also happens around
that same time, but it could be some other random init thing that didn't
complete earlier and just caused the boot to hang at that point).
The expectations that we should default to some unsafe and untested mode
seems entirely unfounded, and the belief that this wouldn't affect
modern systems is clearly entirely false. The machine in question is
about two years old, so it's not exactly shiny, but it's also not some
dusty old museum piece PDP-11 in a closet.
