That seems a bit self-contradictory - if there's a real need for TLB
flush behaviour to be statically configurable and not command-line-based
then why should users of other architectures be exempt?

For a straightforward boolean, you can simply do:

static bool foo = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FOO);

but that said, I'm still not particularly convinced that there are a
significant number of users in a position to build and install a custom
kernel but not edit /etc/default/grub, and who really value the
combination of less performance than passthrough with less isolation
than strict.

It's also not necessarily obvious to the user how this interacts with
IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH, so if we really do go down this route, maybe
it would be better to refactor the whole lot into a single selection of
something like IOMMU_DEFAULT_MODE anyway.
