In general, non-GPU devices that don't support a 48-bit DMA mask work fine
(assuming they have set their DMA mask appropriately). It really depends
on whether SWIOTLB will be able to satisfy the memory requirements of the
driver when the IOMMU is not enabled or in passthrough mode. Since GPU
devices need/use a lot of memory, that becomes a problem.

Thanks,
