Dear Maintainer,

As several other distros have done in the previous years [ref1], it
would be good to configure DMA to bypass the IOMMU by default.

This is recommended for performance, for example for MinIO [ref2]
[ref3].

This can be done with:

CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH=y

Regards

Mathieu Parent
