Joerg,

Do you mean we need enable the V and TV bits to DTE entry after all DTEs
tables were initialized completely?

I checked this function 'init_device_table_dma', and find it just set
V and TV bit, to set translation info valid and DTE bits127:1 valid.

So I just think all things it should to do are to allow DMA access,
GPA-to-SPA translation should be active, why you add function comments
below is to not allow DMA access and suppress all page faults?

/*
* Init the device table to not allow DMA access for devices and
* suppress all page faults
*/
static void init_device_table_dma(void)
