So you want to *allow* the random in-flight DMA? And with an identity
mapping it's really going to random addresses, since it'll be
untranslated and won't even go to the physical addresses which it was
originally intended for?
This seems entirely broken to me.
If there is "random in-flight dma" from the first kernel, the correct
thing to do is *block* it. Which is what we do.
