Starting from Intel VT-d v3.2, Intel platform BIOS can provide additional SATC table structure. SATC table includes a list of SoC integrated devices that support ATC (Address translation cache). Enabling ATC (via ATS capability) can be a functional requirement for SATC device operation or optional to enhance device performance/functionality. This is determined by the bit of ATC_REQUIRED in SATC table. When IOMMU is working in scalable mode, software chooses to always enable ATS for every device in SATC table because Intel SoC devices in SATC table are trusted to use ATS. On the other hand, if IOMMU is in legacy mode, ATS of SATC capable devices can work transparently to software and be automatically enabled by IOMMU hardware. As the result, there is no need for software to enable ATS on these devices. This also removes dmar_find_matched_atsr_unit() helper as it becomes dead code now.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
