Right, disable_bypass is a security/robustness feature for when the driver *is* in use. If for some reason you want to disable the SMMU drivers completely, they are regular driver model drivers, so just don't load the module in the first place (or use initcall_blacklist if it's built-in).
Thanks, Robin.
