From: Michal Camacho Romero <[email protected]> When Intel TXT Protection Regions (TPRs) are present in the DTPR table, hardware-level DMA protection is already enforced by the SINIT ACM. In this case: - Skip forcing IOMMU enablement in tboot_force_iommu(), since TPRs already provide DMA protection. - Tear down PMRs during intel_iommu_init() when TPRs are active, while PMRs are redundant with TPR-based protection. - Call tboot_parse_dtpr_table() from parse_dmar_table() to disable TPR regions early, allowing the kernel to manage DMA protection prior to the OS boot.
