Commit 765b6a98 ("iommu/vt-d: Enumerate the scalable mode capability") enables VT-d scalable mode if hardware advertises the capability. As we will bring up different features and use cases to upstream in different patch series, it will leave some intermediate kernel versions which support partial features. Hence, end user might run into problems when they use such kernels on bare metals or virtualization environments. This leaves scalable mode default off and end users could turn it on with "intel-iommu=sm_on" only when they have clear ideas about which scalable features are supported in the kernel.
