decode without it (and by can't do I mean 1080P and higher decode is
not functionally useful). Far from special, this would appear to be
the default.
Thanks for the insight, that's a much better argument than 'something
may need it'. Are those all chips without an IOMMU or do we also
need to solve the IOMMU case with split bank allocation?
