Stream bypass is not security. A malicious device can be hot plugged
without match any drivers, but it can access to any memory. So change to
disable bypass by default.

Whilst this sounds nice, I *bet* you it will break some systems. In
particular, those where the SMMU is described but the toplogical information
is either incorrect or incomplete.

I guess we could put it into next and see if anybody complains. What do
others think?

Suppose this scene exists, maybe we should consider updating IORT specification,
to indicate whether a smmu treats all unregistered devices as stream bypass or not, --- global control
to indicate whether a single device default use stream bypass or not, --- local control
that will be more flexible. But we still disable bypass by default.

IORT (or dts) is about the hardware feature, if it's only
about the wrong topological information of devices and
SMMU, I think IORT is not the right place to describe such
information, we need correct that information instead.

Thanks
